Congratulation on adopting and older yorkie. I too adopted an older yorkie...Brandi. She was 7 when I got her last year. The first thing I did like you was to take her to the vet. Well $1200 later, she has a clean bill of health. It wasn't 1200 dollars all at one time but that's how much it took to get her healthy. That's including doggie supplies such as bedding, ex-pen, food dish, spaying, all shots, her teeth and grooming (she was so badly matted and stunk like a skunk that she had to have all of her hair shaved off).

It's very important to get her teeth checked. Most of the vet bills was because of her teeth. All but 4 teeth had to be pulled. So make sure you get her teeth checked. Brandi could not and would not eat hard food because her teeth were rotten. I feed her Canidae's Chicken and Broth and she loves it. Also I noticed since I started feeding her Canidae's, she gets very little eye gunk now. She was a rescue as well and very badly neglected. Now she is a very healthy and happy yorkie who knows she is loved and cared for. Heck she is even turning into a diva. She is no longer afraid of the original diva....my cat Zoey.
