hey YT loves!!
I didn't update you all but Bella got very sick as I was warned here on Yorkie talk. (She was sick when I bought her, a mistake on my part and too young) She became malnourished, dehdrated, and her glucose levels were down. She had a fever and became lethargic and limp. She lost weight so she was just under a pound and started to poo black. Without hesitation i brought her in and they told me they would do what they could! I was devastated because in just a weeks time I fell hard for this sweet and loving pup. After many hours or care she bounced back! She has continued to gain weight, have a lot of energy, run around, and ate like a Queen (fattening prescription food which she loveddd) Now we have her on a bland diet of rice and boiled chicken and boy has she gained a lot of weight! Her tummy seems like someone blew a balloon up in it.

Now I am so nervous to bring her anywhere let her go outside or be around other people. I just don't want her to get sick again. So I was wondering what others thought about this.

SO, she is due for shots in April she will be 14 weeks at that time she is going on 12 weeks. After a lot of reading on YT, I have learned that she may have had her first set of shots too young. Has anyone else had this experience? I just want her to be normal and healthy and happy. I don't want to feel like i have to wash my hands 30 times a day or tell people not to touch her. Should I hold off on the shots and keep her in the house?

Also I read about socialization of the pups and how important the 8-12 week period is and we had her during this time. Should I be having more people around her and playing with her to ensure that she will be open to other people other than my boyfriend and I?

I just want her to be healthy and i feel like I am walking on egg shells because she still doesn't have consistent poos, sometimes they are runny so until that ends I will feel much better. The vet gives her another week but as long as she is eating and drinking they said its ok. I check her poos for worms and I havent found any and she has had the worming from the breeder. I wonder if there is still a chance she has worms too. She did have bacteria which that antibitics should take care of I just wanna weigh all the options!!

Thanks for any feedback!! I really appreciate it.

Love,
Bella and her mom xo
