I love her. How about you? do you have a little yorkie. Oh, i dewormed her with Nemex? ever heard of it? That was for the hookworm, because they can be deadly to little puppies. Now she's got tapeworm but the vet said that is not too serious and i can wait till shes a little older to give her that deworming medicine, cos he said it can be toxic to little puppies. But shes been dewormed 4 times with nemex...
Call someone and try to sick the law on her. I hate how bad breeders pull on your heartstrings. Of course you've already fallen in love with her, you know she would put her down (probably inhumanely) if she gets her back. Here in California if it has a genetic problem they will pay your vet bills up to 11/2 times your dog.
Yes, I have a yorkie and I don't know what I would do without her. My Brandy was rescued from a Backyard breeder. I was reading through the newsaper and I noticed it said "5 wk old yorkies for sale." I called her and told her that they are too young to sell and she should wait much longer. She then told me that she already sold one and is selling them because "they're eating her out of house and home." She said if I don't want them, she will sell them to someone else, but cash only. It was a Sunday, so I went to the ATM and I withdrew the atm limit and borrowed some to get Brandy. The lady kept the 4 puppies left seperated from their mother, in a box lined with paper full of poop and pee. They didn't have shots or worming. I took Brandy and then I told this site about her and I called animal control. A great women from this site named eensor saved the other 3 boys, gave them the medical care and screened new homes, and actually ended up keeping one.
The tapeworm is from fleas. Don't forget to give her some advantage or something to treat them. Basically the fleas have tapeworm eggs in their stomachs sometimes and when a dog eats a flea they get into thier system.
Hope this helps and that she gets better.
