I decided to wait till she was healthy. She is a piggy now and eats all her meals without hesitation. I'm still a bit afraid, but I can't put it off again. Too many homes being broken into to steal Yorkies and that is so scary to me. I don't even leave her alone because of that fear.
I'm glad your baby did so well. Bet you were worried!!  |
I got my Curri at 24 weeks Old. Breeder told me ( after the fact) that she almost died of the same virus that had killed her sister a month earlier. So we were also waiting for her to put on some weight and regain her health. She went from 2.5 pounds at 6 months old to 3.2 pounds at 17 months old.
I should clarify that I consider Curri a breeder surrender. She was too small to breed and too sickly to sell so she was rehomed free of charge.
