Yes, I am feeding her the same food from the breeder, he gave me some to feed her until I can get some more. She's drinking water now, thankfully. But still barely eats (she eats like once a day at night). I'll let you know what the vet says. Thanks again! |
Congrats on your new baby! Yes, it is a bit scary and a lot of work, having a new puppy. Good luck at the vet. I hope her visit goes well and she comes away with flying colors.
Did you ask the breeder when you got your puppy how much she ate and at what times? Did your breeder crate train the puppy? Was your puppy being pad trained or outdoor trained at the breeders? I would think that a 5 month old puppy would be almost housebroken by that age, no matter what way it was being trained. If your breeder didn't crate train your puppy, it is probably going to take awhile for your puppy to get used to being in a crate given how old she is. Maybe try a pen first because that is a bigger area. If your puppy was crated at the breeders, maybe she is sad because she is away from the only home she has known her whole life. Did the breeder give you any blanket or toys that she had there? Maybe put them in the crate with her.
Also, I had a terrible time training my one puppy. She would go wherever she was, including her crate (a place most puppies won't go in). She was very hard to train. I had to start over quite a few times.
Good luck with your new puppy. You are going to love owning a yorkie. I love my 2 yorkie puppies.
