One more question...One of the questions brought up here is his molars??? He as one molar at the very back on all four sides?
Personally, I think he is more like 14 wks., but obviously, if he is older I would need to know. Neutering is my greatest concern.
He does act very puppy-like. Flat-out passed-out to hyper-biting mode then passes out again. He sleeps alot! - But what about the molars?
I need him to eat more. He was chubbier than he is now. When we got him he was 4 lbs., but now that he's lost some belly, I'm not sure. I asked the breeder if the food she gave me was in fact the food he was eating and still need to hear from her.
I have to read more too about the potty training w/ Yorkies. I keep him in our kitchen when I can't watch him, but unless I'm there coaching him he doesn't go on the pads. Even when I do coach him, he misses a lot too. Oh boy! This is more difficult that puppies I've had in the past! This, too, shall pass. LOL
Thank you again...God Bless! |
Puppies do sleep alot, not to worry.
Don't worry, he's now more active and losing that baby fat........remember how small he really is......and how small his tummy is, as long as he's eating, that's good news. The food your breeder sent home with you is more than likely the food he was on.....if it wasn't, your new pup would be having major diarreah from the food change. If you plan to make food changes, do so very slowly, yorkie digestive tracts are their downfall.
Your pup is young.....don't expect miracles....but, do keep him confined until he gets it......My pups go home piddle pad trained, but when they are moved to a new location they need to be retrained where their toilet is.
As far as nuetering him, the decision is yours and your vets. Your vet making sure that he checks his growth platelets before nuetering.
