We weaned her off that along with other drugs given and she is truly a blessing. If I had one wish, it would be to make her 2yrs old. as it's going to break my heart whenever her time comes.
I hope to get a picture of her up soon. She is truely the Prince---Cess here.
I have a question about a new yorkie puppy I've adopted. My son who lives in California recently adopted a 5 yr. old yorkie a rescue center that also had a yorkie puppy up for adoption. I had him bring her home and Planned to fly out and pick her up to bring home.
I've had some health problems come up and my son's getting ready to start a new job. My question is, Should,could I fly her on a nonstop fight from LA to Nashville, TN. In cargo? The flight is about 4 hours long. She's 4.5 months old but only weighs 1.8lbs. ( tiny I know ).
He's had her for 4 weeks now and she seems to be well adjusted.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Welcome to YorkieTalk. You can hire someone to pick her up and fly with her in the plane and bring her to you. A small dog let alone a small tiny pup should never ever fly in cargo its just not safe. Also they are not temperature controlled and its dark and scary especially for a puppy. Dogs get lost A LOT when they fly cargo and sense its a yorkie a shady worker could just steal the pup. A puppy this small in that stressful of an environment could go into a hypoglycemia episode and obviously if alone in the cargo would probably die.
