Your baby is very young. She really should stay with her mom and littermates until she's 12 weeks old or around 2 pounds. It would really be beneficial to your baby if the breeder keeps her longer. I can't imagine why the breeder is letting these pups go so young. Please get some Nutrical and have it on hand at all times.
Have you had Yorkies before? Toy breeds are different than larger breeds - especially Yorkies. When they're young/or very small they tend to use a lot of energy and they need to be monitored - just like an infant. They can go into a hypoglycemic episode very easily - which can cause death.
Best Wishes....

Okay It sounds like biogrooms a good one then. Do they have one specifically for yorkies or puppys. And yeah I know shes young when I had a litter of rotts a cupl years ago we let them stay with mom for a LONG time. From what I gathered the buyers of her littermates are people who are like TV trainers or something and wanted to get them at 6 weeks. So concequently for uss she's left by herself so were getting her at about 8 weeks so she's not alone. Since her mom is still recouping after a LARGE litter but yeah I hope it works out well.
and no Ive always had rottwielers this is my first toy.
What do you mean excess? so should I just bathe her quickly? I heard not to bathe toys till they get like 8 or 9 weeks?

Biogroom has two votes so I'll probably try this one.
Where can I buy it? at like petco? or should I go to a private holistic pet supply place or just a specialty pet supply? idk.
