Hi, I currently own a 3lb "Teacup" yorkie male. I can tell you that they are VERY VERY fragile. Please treat your "Teacup" like it's Royal Copenhagen china. I would rate myself as a great, loving, responsible pet owner, and I have not been able to prevent all his bumps, bruises, and health issues due to his fragile nature (I sincerely try very hard). Just like having a real baby - people think it's going to be all fresh baby smell, cute outfits, and play time - but as it turns out, it's a crap ton of responsibility. Watch steps, other dogs, children especially, even taking it out of it's element this small/young - be careful w/ germs, I found that putting my furbaby in my bed to sleep was a horrible idea - he tumbled off (luckily into a pillow landing I made just in case), keep an eye on all their teeth falling out (yorkies can have oral health issues), get steps for on/off couch, watch what you wash floors/furniture w/ - a lot of cleaning agents are poisonous, watch flowers (some are poisonous). Get baby butt wipes - poop sticks to their fur. ALWAYS have karo syrup (never know what's gonna make your dog's sugar fluctuate. If you want her to wear clothes, start early, keep it up. Thick leather collars are too heavy, even if they say "Coach" on them. Goodluck. |
