She is very tiny and I am very disappointed in the "breeder" that sold you such a tiny baby, you never having owned a Yorkie before, and having NO experience in how to care for such a tiny baby. She will gain a little more weight, but she will still be small.... These tiny little dogs require very specific care....remember a Yoirkie thinks it is the size of a great dane, and will act accordingly. That attitude alone results in a tragic number of Yorkies getting killed, because they have absolutely NO fear, and will take on anything, regardless of what it is. Their tiny fragile little bones and joints are so susceptable to breaks...their tiny little heads, if they fall from even a height of 6-8 inches, can result in a severe concussion with seizure activity that lasts a lifetime. Your "breeder" didnt tell you all this, did she? You have to treat that tiny little girl like she is made of hand blown glass, because she is just that fragile, simply because of her size. If this baby becomes sick or does not feel well, DO NOT WAIT 24 hours to wait and see what is going to happen....you take her to the vet immediately, as she has NO reserve, and she will crash and burn on you very quickly and you will loose her. You MUST make sure your vet is KNOWLEDGABLE in the medical care of small dogs, especially Yorkies....that vet is all that is standing between your baby and Death,,,,,it is YOUR responsibility to make certain you have the best medical care you can possibly find for this baby.....she has no say in anything that is done or not done to her or for her.....it is up to you to make sure the medical care she receives is the best and that the vet that is resaponsible for her health care, is up to date and KNOWLEDGABLE in the care of Yorkies.
