At that young age one they stop drinking and eating they can goes fast. A good breeder won't let you have the pup at such a young age. Sometimes they won't eat in a new environment. Unless someone is home 24-7 to watch the pup. The old the better. I know the op probably will only get there money back is by getting a new pup. But if I could get my money back I would get it then get a new breeder. JMO. Coccidia (Coccidiosis) in Dogs: A Cause of Diarrhea |
This is another good point. Even at 12 weeks, I would caution against leaving a little Yorkie pup at home alone all day. If someone is not home, I would make arrangements to have someone check in on the pup at least every 3 to 4 hours. These little ones can go down so fast.
