Every little thing helps and it is nice to know that others care. 
I have had this little guy since 04/20/11. (17days) He is 13wks today. He has been eating ok for the past 10 days. He reached 1# 10oz on May 3rd, but dropped back down to 1# 9.8oz today. I try to get him to eat his dry puppy food which is a mix of Eukanuba small breed puppy & Royal Canin Yorkshire 29 Puppy every 3 or 4 hours. If he doesn't eat at least a little, then I offer wet Cesar puppy which he eats everytime. I have offered him the yolk from a boiled egg when he wasn't eating around Easter and he liked it and ate some. I gave him boiled chicken about an hour ago just because we were having chicken tonight and he loved it and gobbled it up. He seemed to get a boost of energy about half hour after and played with all his todays. SO CUTE!!! I even let him out to get fresh air and run in the grass a bit. He really enjoyed that but was tuckered out quick. I didn't realize that Eukanuba was crappy food as I am only able to get it at our vet or petco and 2 feed stores here. I thought crappy food was at places like walmart and so on. What is a good food for a Yorkie??? Is Royal Canin good? Yes, my vet did mention an x-ray when he had his episode on the third day that I had him, however, he thought we should wait to see if anything else accured before doing one as by the time I brought him in, he was totally fine. I will take this advice and get this done and check for Chiarie or AAI and check for Liver Fluck (not sure how to spell).. Does anyone know what would cause shedding? He has been losing his coat since I got him and he is getting thin. I might have a bald yorkie on my hands before long. YIKES!!! He goes back in for vaccinations May 16th or 17th and Vet will do further testing. Just trying to gather info before Wiley's next visit. If there is anything else VERY important I should know about yorkies... please let me know. I am trying my best and I have read lots about them, but seems like others have more and more info that I have not read about and is very knowledgeable. Thanks again... Tammy |
Have you tried wetting the dry food a bit to soften it for him? And then mix it with the Cesar's?
I would not vaccinate this puppy until he's 100%. What you described may have been a seizure, and at least an xray should be done asap. Vaccines are very strong and only healthy puppies should receive them. In the meantime, keep him in your arms when not at home. Also, he should weigh at least 2# to get vaccines. Is your vet experienced with Yorkies or, at least small dogs?
As he has problems, it would be best to get him on a minimum vaccine schedule (see Dr Dodds Vaccine Protocol). Also, wait to see the records from the breeder (if she's still sending them). Here's a link:

Please read and learn about vaccines before you take him back in to the vet. There are other links in the Library, one is to Dr Dodds Vaccine Protocol, and some for general puppy care, etc.
I'll keep your puppy in my prayers....
