Another HUGE mistake! Like I said, we were just very naive and had A LOT to learn about the yorkshire terrier breed and puppies, puppy mills, puppy food, health issues with the puppies, and sooo much more! With all of that being said we took him to a vet, we did what the vet told us to do. I took off work for days so that I could force feed him every hour. I woke up with that precious puppy every hour and I made sure he ate. But, unfortunately for us he was too far gone when we brought him home. He just didn't make it. It was a heartbreaking experience and I don't wish that experience to happen to ANYONE. I try to educate anyone who will listen about puppy mills and the dangers of bringing home puppies too early. Puppies can go down very fast. It can happen in a matter of hours. It is very exciting to bring a new puppy home! I understand that you would want to bring it home as soon as possible but, instead of putting your feelings first think about that baby. We were blessed to find Bruizer and thank God he has been a healthy dog! With that being said these little dogs need lots of attention and care. They are very loving but, they are also very demanding and need us to be there for them. If you would like to talk feel free to contact me. I would be happy to share our experience with you and tell you what helped us become better yorkie parents.
Thanks,
