She also said that he is still to young to go outside to potty train (he is 11wks). I have read about hypoglycemia but I don't think letting him eat all night is good either. Also I know he isn't use to the new pad but I want to know its ok that I know he ate last night but so far this moning (had food all night) haven't seen him eat and wouldn't take food from my hand... is that normal for him being in a new home? He also only plays in the living room for bout 5-10 minutes then goes back to his pen and sleeps? How much do most yorkie pups sleep nap wise? Sorry its so long just want to know so I know he's not getting sick  |
I would follow your breeders advice
Can be VERY important in some instances! I agree to the expen so food and water are available 24/7. Very important. Puppies in a new home are stressed (even if not showing signs) and sometimes won't eat. I always suggest hand feeding and even givng a tempting canned food. Something is better than nothing.
