I was told to leave her in the crate to help her to be independent. but she won't stop crying until I pick her up. Is Coco too young to be left alone? I have to work every other day for about 6 hours so she cries until I get home. I feel bad but there is very little I can do since mommy has to work in order to buy Coco food.
Coco also has motion sickness because I took her with me in the car, she vomited.
I have already browsed the forum and got some great ideas from people's posts.
Just want to say HI to everyone and introduce me and Coco to this community.
Happy Holidays to all yorkies and owners on this site and everywhere in this world.
Coco and Coco's mom
P.s. my username Coco and Gigi coming from my two yorkies that passed away this year (my old Coco) and last year (Gigi). They are two very very special yorkies in my life for 15 years. I love them deeply. So I named my new puppy New Coco (Coco II) to honor my old Coco.  |
Hi, welcome to YT! I'm sorry you lost your pups but they sure did live a nice long life! I'm a bit surprised that you, having raised Yorkies elected to take a pup much too young home and away from her mom and littermates. Actually, I'm more surprised at the breeder.
Your pup seems to be having the typical problems that pups that are removed too young have...she is a baby, after all.
If you have a good relationship with your breeder, as you should, she should be willing to take her back for a little longer. I think this would make it much easier to re-acclimate her to your lifestyle later.
If that is not an option than you will need to take some additional measures to insure your pups health and welfare. Perhaps a friend or relative can stop in and spend time with her during the day. Right now is important training time and human interaction is an integral part of who she will become.
She is also very tiny and I'm concerned about her health, car rides, outside etc., is really not in her best interest right now...has she seen a vet yet?
