It has been 2 days now trying to find a young pups family. I am doing what I can to find the orginal owners. Thanks to YT folks.
She looks healthy though, stalky build. However, I am finding it very hard to feed her. She will not eat much at all. I am thinking she had been recieviing people food... I have fed her boiled beef, she liked it a little , and ate more when hand fed, then would not touch it again. Tried a little scrambled egg , plain and mixed it with the beef, she would not touch that. I cave her a few spoonfuls of canned chicken , organic from wellness and she liked that, then would not touch or eat that . I finally found out that she loves plain chicken, no grease ..... or anything on it. I never had a picky eater . my 2 girls eat well no problems . I have tried a little bread , nothing.
Could it be that it is just a new place for her? She is out of her element . I know if my brother did not pick her up off a busy street when she was so cold, shivering , she would have not have survived in these cold temps. She was so smelly and matted as well. Not anymore though.
not even sure of her age, however she did try to mount Suzi, my other yorkie yesterday, so I am thinking maybe 5 months old?
This is more difficult then I thought it would be. Finding her owners, wondering why she was in such bad condition, and now the feeding issue.
I know it is not wise to change foods on her, however, if not doind so she would not be eating anything at all.
Is it normal for a yorkie pup to have her tounge stick out a little bit? Sometimes she does that. It is cute, but unsure if that means she is ok or not.
She likes the warm and safe place she lives in now, BUT , if the owners are not looking for her, and their is no chip , just at a loss as what to do.
One more thing is she has had pretty hard stools as well. No blood in it or anything. And she is not straining to have a BM.
Their has not been any throwing up and her eyes are clear. I have placed maple syurp on her gums to make sure she won't go into a hypoglcemia mode.
Trying to do all the right things for this little one while trying to figure out her owners. I am very concerned.
