I've had help from Yorkie Talk getting this little guy to survive. He'll be 7 weeks old tomorrow (Mon. 11/1/2010). He hit 1 lb. this week, had shots Friday, now he's under a pound. Shots could be answer to that. (They took unbelievable caustions w/him--Benedryl, steroid before 4-way shot) My questions is why is this puppy so lethargic? I don't mean now, I mean since birth. He does play some, but nothing like the other normal size littermates. This guy is about 1/3 the size of the rest of the litter of 5 total. He's so tiny. Think that's it??? Not as much energy? He'll run around the kitchen for a while before he poops out (no pun intended). Thanks for any experience with this.
