 Just recieved a 6 1/2 week old 1lb tiny Yorkie
Please assist with your experiences. An acquaintances 5lb Yorkie mated with a 3.5 Yorkie and the poor baby had 5 puppies. It was too much for the sweet Mama but she was able to feed them for four weeks then they were weened at 4.5/5 weeks I was told. I have fostered many animals, some just days old, with success. I am frightened after reading the posts about all of the problems these little darlings have. I am feeding her Science Diet soaked in water with a little Karo Syrup a few morals, a few times a day. She doesn't have much of an appetite. I also give her Nutrical twice a day. The puppy is very active, receptive and loving. I have a four year old 8lb neutered Yorkie that thinks she is his baby. He is very protective and wouldn't let my neighbor near her crib. He lays on our bed and just stares at her. Pretty sweet actually.
I will take her to the Vet next week to check her out and discuss shots. I think she will be too small to have shots. My opinion. I am giving her Albon.
I had a doctor appt. this morning for 2 hours and read I should not leave them when they are that young.
If any of you could pass any of your expertise and tiny baby feeding secret i would be so grateful!!! I love this sweetie pie and could not handle anything happen to her.
Thank you!! |
