I have read in other threads here on YT that sometimes Yorkies may develop at a slower rate than other breeds. Meaning sometimes their teeth do not all come in as soon, etc. Your puppy is facing some challenges that other pups at that age may not be. Maybe offering softer foods and foods that smell good to him, such as others have suggested, will help. At this age you really cannot spoil them. What goes into the body now is helping to develop strong, healthy, bones and organs. Hypoglycemia is very important to watch for but you also need to consider the puppy's long term health. He is a baby and needs to be treated as such. I hope you can find a good combination of foods that will help him to grow into a healthy little dog.
It is pretty common for some breeders to lie about the age of puppies in the states as well. Many people want their dogs to be really small so the breeders feel they can fool a buyer into thinking they are buying a tiny by selling it earlier. Of course there are several other reasons they want to be rid of the puppies sooner but that tops the list. Your little guy is going to need some added care but hopefully he will be fine once you get him trough this. |
