She would eat a food one or two times and then not want to eat it again. I started cooking for her. I actually found YT while doing a search for a recipe for homemade food for a Yorkie. After much trial and error I discovered that she did not like grains at all. She eats well now but it took a while to get the right diet for her.
It just seems like the breeder could have saved your baby a lot of trouble by just keeping her for a few more weeks. She obviously was not eating eating well enough to keep her blood sugar levels stable when you got her. I realize not all puppies have as much trouble as yours has but a good breeder should be able to recognize when a puppy is not developing as well as it should be and hold it back for a while. I hope she is getting better. Until she gains some weight you are going to need to keep watching her very carefully. She is so tiny.
I almost forgot. Gracie is 2 years old now. She was about 14 months old before she reached her adult weight of 5lbs. I guess that is considered big for a Yorkie in some circles but I had never had such a tiny puppy and it made me very nervous for her. |
Yes..I agree, knowing what i know now..I would have preferred to have collected her when she was older. Do you remember her weight when you got her? Ax
