Smile Thanks for the concern and sorry for the late reply

Hey,
Sorry for the late reply. The vet's visit went well, thanks! The vet said Lillie is fine. She said something about a left patella/knee bone having the tendency to "pop out" sorry I dont remember the medical term for this. She said it wasnt uncommon for yorkies. (Should I be worried about this?)
She said the reason Lillie doesn't eat is because she's shy/scared/still acclimatizing to her new home. She said I might need to slowly incorporate other things in her diet (like mix the dry food I got from the breeder with wet food- any recommendations?) She did eat treat the vet had, but the vet said she can't live off these.
She also said that Lillie stunk. I didn't notice this when I picked her up. Perhaps I was too excited. But I wonder why the breeder didn't keep her clean and groomed (is this a sign of a bad breeder?). Anyways, I'm taking her to the groomer's first think in the morning. I'll be sure to post a before and after picture.
That's mostly it for now. Could anyone please refer me to where I can get information on how to bathe the puppy? I think I'll be doing this at least once a week to prevent smells.
With regards to potty training, all I have done is follow the advice I've been given and there haven't really been any accidents. (She did go in her crate, but I wasn't home at the time, so I guess that couldn't have been helped, as I took her for a walk before I went out).
All in all I'm starting to believe I can do this. Thanks every one!!!!!
