Enjoy this time and get involved with the game. If she is an only puppy she will see you as her playmate and use dog like behavior to engage you into her game. Often it is hard on puppies after leaving a litter where they had playmates, she is probably very bored and lonely at times, so now she will look to you for fun play.

I am assuming the vet ran some tests on her stool to see if she has parasites, this is very important I have seen many new puppies come home with this bug that causes bad diarrhea

Sometimes they will even give you antibiotics just to be sure, what did the vet give you? did you change food suddenly, if so that could cause it. When Lola was puppy she went through a good week of severe diarrhea to the point she was screaming when she would have to go, which was very often. I took her to the vet at least twice and he mostly gave her parasite meds even though none were detected. He finally helped me figure out the right dose of children's imodeam and that was the only thing that worked, within a day it was gone. But we ruled out everything else first. I think what caused it was I gave her a greenie (but not that brand) type of chew that looked like a toothbrush and was almost as big. It was hard and I thought this would be something she would chew on for hours, even days. However that was not the case she was in her cage and I was cleaning, in less than a half hour the whole chew was gone. I still regret giving her that to this day and will never giver her any type of edible chews like that especially greenies, they are to dangerous for dogs. I was lucky because this did not have lasting effects on her digestive system but something like this could throw a dog into having pancreatic issues for the rest of their lives, so be careful will all that type of stuff, many yorkies have sensitive stomachs so it is important especially when they are puppies not to be giving them lots of table scraps and things like jerky treats from the pet stores. Also read every label carefully and do not buy ANY treat that is not made in the USA, run from anything that is made in China. Best of luck with your puppy and welcome to Yorkie Talk.
well, I am so glad I read this. I thought Lacey had diarrhea from an orange slice..now I think it was the greenie she stole from her sister (Huskey) Maya. Day 3 and finally starting to improve luv YT!
