So happy you found YT. This is a great place to get information about almost anything Yorkie. I think ladyjane gave you some good answers.
From the picture your baby looks very cute.
Most of the dogs I deal with have behavior problems, not health issues. Think about walking into a room of huge basketball players and everyone is staring at you. You don't know the language, don't know where the bathroom is, and have no money to buy a meal. That may be somewhat how a rescue feels when we get them. Try to keep everything low key. First show the pottie place, praise if she goes. Take her to the same spot about every 2 hours until you establish a routine. Second show her where her water is round the clock. At first feed her what she is used to and wean her slowly onto the better food if you want her to eat something different. I suggest feeding her in her crate. This encourages a sense of safety and ownership her crate her food, her special toy. Everything outside the crate belongs to the pack leader, you. Allow her a little space and some time to feel safe, in her new forever home.
I am so glad you chose to get a rescue. She will be a blessing to you and you will be a blessing to her. |
