Hello...I go by the name of Ms. Sparkle! I will try to keep it brief.

I have always wanted a yorkie, but neva knew much about them; I was just attracted to their appearance and how they interacted with their families.

I recently purchased my Dream (literally) on Saturday, 10/24/09 @ 1:30pm from a dog store in my area.

When I 1st saw her liter, she instantly caught my eye. I touched her, but I didn't wanna pick her up until after looking at the other yorkies and yorkie mixes. (Ya know, I was afraid of the instant attachment...lol) But even after all of the other pups acknowledged me, holding some, I still resorted back to her.

I wanted a girl! So now, afraid I had fell for a pup that I wasn't sure of the sex...I was praying that she was a "she"...AND SHE WAS! Yay for me!

HERE IS MY ISSUE: Saturday night, she was fine. She tried to tear up everything in sight and she stayed up all night!

Sunday a.m., she slept all day, ate very little and started with the poops.
It went all down hill from there!
The poops got worse and she stopped eating. She would still take in fluids, but no food. I tried the stores diet and went to PETCO and purchased everything. I had specifically followed the instructions from the store and it was not working. I was about panic!

I called the store on Monday and they said she was going thru puppy blues and she would be fine. Well, Monday night she had clear mucus coming from her nose and she was breathing thru her mouth. I watched her all night and finally called them on Tuesday (10/27/09), which the store was closed. I called the emergency number and then took her over to them.

They say they are going to make her better. I can't wait to have another Saturday night with her.

Now, I know her ears don't stick up correctly, she is having a lot of starter problems, I didn't get her from a loving in-home breeder, and she is my 1st. BUT she has grown on me and my family just that quick. I just pray that she doesn't have any health issues and that she will be able to come back home to me.

I wrote this to vent AND I would like to hear your opinions, please, on what you (as a loving yorkie owner) would do in my situation.
