She is doing very well on her training pads for urine, not so much for poop.
I have to lead her to her water and food bowl and eats some but not a lot.
Is all this normal. I do know about hypoglycemia, so I am very mindful of her eating. |
Hi and welcome to YT. Your little girl is gorgeous..& into chewing it seems.
I am also fairly new here. My little girl is 14wks now and I have had the hypoglycemic problem with her. But she is fine now.
Young puppies generally do sleep quite a lot but I found mine to be quite hyperactive a good part of the day and would suddenly crash for a short while before she was off again. She eats well now but mostly has very small amounts a few times a day..
You sound to be managing your little one very well. And training her well..lots of praise is the trick when they get it right...but I think in the end lots of patience is the winner.
We found as they are teething and will chew anything & everything..we did a check of all the rooms she is allowed in and lifted up things like electrical wires (which she loves to chew) & and other objects not for her. We also have her puppy mats down for wee's as well as newspaper. But she ripped up the newspaper & that can block off the airway so no more newspapers down for her and I made sure no magazines were on the floor. We close off my husbands study doors as there are computer wires galore in there!
Oh dear..but they do grow up. Good luck with your's & keep us updated
and oh..how come it took 15yrs to get a Yorkie? ..
