Default New to Yorkies & Yorkie Talk

Hi Everyone! I'm Kim, a new mommy to a 12 week old Yorkie, Bazinga . He's the first small breed, boy dog I've ever had so it's been interesting so far. Here's the info on what I'm doing so far...if anyone has any advice or constructive criticism on what I'm doing please feel free to contact me.

Birthday
April 24, 2010

Age
13 weeks

Weight
1.85 lbs

Diet
Food - Wellness Puppy - 1/8 cup 3 times a day (should he be eating more?)
Suppliments - I give him a small squirt of nutri-cal for puppies on days I feel he didn't eat enough.

Health
Vet - Loving Hands Animal Clinic - Alpharetta, GA
Parasites - He had a few parasites, so I gave him the meds the Vet gave me & hopefully those are cleared up now (have to take him to reevaluate this week.

Grooming

Bath Time - currently 2 times a week w/ Medicated Shampoo to help skin infection, but plan to bathe once a week w/ Finishing Touch Oatmeal Puppy Shampoo
Grooming - alternating combing & brushing (he won't sit still very long so...it's a bit of a challenge) & Spritz 2 times a week w/ Finishing Touch Oatmeal Puppy Spray
Cold - I'm not used to such a small puppy, and he gets cold really easy, especially during bath time. Any advice?
Blow dry - he hates the hairdryer any advice??? Using my diffuser helps but not much

Thank you!
Kim H.
