I want to say that this site is great. I started reading all the postings about 3 weeks ago in preparation for my new puppy. Here is the story: I picked up my puppy last Thursday from a Breeder in upstate New York (my sister bought 2 yorkies from her). I bought the puppy home on Thursday. Took the day off on Friday (I work full time) so that I can have 3 days with her. She is 10 weeks old. On Friday, she used the potty early in the morning (I was actually surprised she was trained so well). I kept the stool to take to the vet. Took her to the vet, she was checked and the vet said she seem healthy. As soon as I got home from the vet, she used the potty and I noticed she had blood in her stool. I being a new yorkie mommy (never owned had a puppy before) called the vet. The vet prescribed dewormer medication and told me she should be fine (her results came back negative). I was told to give her 1/2 pill that day and the other 1/2 in 3 weeks. On Saturday she used the potty and she had blood in her stool (when I say blood, I mean a speck, not a lot). I called the breeder and she said it may be stress. To keep an eye on the puppy and update her with any new information. Sunday came and she used the potty, no sign of blood at all. I was so happy, she is so cute and lovable. She was very active even when she had blood in her stool, she was eating and drinking water. On Monday, she was fine. Yesterday, when I got home, I notice she made this weird sound. It sound like she was sneezing. She did that about 3 times before her bed time (not continously). This morning she woke up, she ate, used the potty and was playful, but she was still making that weird sound with her mouth. It does not sound like a cough. It sounds like a loud sneeze (I can't explain it). Anyway, after reading all the postings, I am starting to panic and think there is something wrong with her. Do you think I am worrying too much? This is my first pet. My kids are 18 and 19 so this is the new baby. Oh and by the way, my son is her sitter when I am not at home. She is scheduled for her third shot next week. Should I wait until next week since she is active, playing, eating and drinking water? Please advise.
