Pennie was 8 weeks old on the dot the day I picked her up. I will NEVER take a yorkie pup under 12 weeks again. But she was 1.7 pounds the day I brought her home. We went right from the breeder to my vet for a check up.
She never gained, she actually dropped to 1.3 pounds by week 14. We would get her up, then back down, a roller coaster from hell!
Have him checked for coccidia and giardia as well as for worms. You will need to repeat the giardia test if the first one is negative. Up to 3 times, 1 week apart.
Please trust me, they can have it and show NO signs, except not eating or lethargic. It took us 4 weeks to finally get a positive (2 tests), and 5 weeks of force feeding and $1,000.00 in tests and vet bills trying to find out what was so wrong with her.
I did not think she had giardia because she had no symptoms of it, no diarrhea or blood in stool.. I have seen it enough to know so i was shocked when it came back pos. but I sure was happy!! something we could treat..
Now at 6 months she is almost 5 pounds!!! haha we thought she was going to stay teeny, so glad she grew and gained finally..
How much did he weigh when you got him? I am still shocked a vet approved him being shipped, but I suppose I shouldn't be.
I must of missed the post, but someone said you named him DJ? does that stand for something?
