Give your boy enormous praise when he goes to the bathroom in the right spot; it really is critical to making them want to go in the right areas that you make it feel really good for your boy to do so. Potty training can be very difficult with yorkies, and until the last month and a half (my girl is about to turn 6 months) there were lots of times I was pulling my hair out at the potty training lol!

Welcome, and don't forget to keep updating us with pics of Miclo!
I will read up on hypoglycemia and will look into NutriCal. I am having a hard time getting him to go on the pads. I have been taking him outside to go, but I will keep him inside for now. Hopefully, no harm done. Any idea on vaccination schedule? Will be visiting vet sometime this week to make sure everything is okay.

I am free feeding him, but he doesn't want to eat. Any ideas? I put some chicken in there to motivate him, but he ONLY eats the chicken. lol. He was taken from him mama because she wasn't feeding them anymore. Anyone have any other ideas?

Any (bad) experience with hypoglycemia?



Btw, my name is Danny and thanks to all for the welcome.
