 Depressed or Sick Yorkie ?
I purchased a 1 year old Yorkie last week, I was advised she is a little shy which she is but warming up very well. She is sleeping all the time, last night was the only time I seen her for about 10 minutes a little energized. When we went to Pet Smart she was happy also. Apparently the previous owner had other dogs which she got rid of before my Maggie. She also said she was a very active dog, I have not seen this yet. Her appetite is very low if anything, last night she ate maybe 1/2 cup of food but that is the most yet. I took her to the vet on Friday to make sure to get shots up-to date and advantage because she had a flea problem. Her heart rate is only 95, the vet said 150 is more the area for a Yorkie, she is also quite skinny and I can see her backbone so that is why i am trying to encourage her to eat and gain some weight. I am hoping this is an adjustment issue and not that she is ill. Has anyone else experienced a transition to a new home like this, I am hoping she is just depressed. She is a sweet little girl, the previous owner is adament that she was a happy normal yorkie. |
