Please, vet these dogs ASAP!! You are contaminating your yard and house with fleas and worms and God only knows what else these unfortunate babies are shedding off themselves! These are all issues you are going to have to address immediately, before you loose control of the situation and your property is flea infested/worm infested! Some of those over the counter flea shampoos make Yorkies very sick...please vet these babies and get proper medication for them to get a handle on your flea issue, before your entire home is infested with fleas!!!! These babies sound like they came from horrible conditions and you are wonderful for taking them in, but you are going to very soon see a "FREE YORKIE" is NOT usually a blessing!! You are going to have to get those pups treated by a vet, bottom line! Do not buy more than one month prevention of heartworm meds from the vet, as they will charge you a fortune for it. I will send you information on Heartworm med and flea med, but you MUST get the initial issue under control ASAP. Once they are vetted correctly, you can maintain monthly treatment for heartworm and fleas much less expensive, with Ivermectin and Frontline ....I will send that to you, but you must get these babies vetted first....they must be checked to see if they have already developed heartworms...all different ball game then. Get these fleas under control, get the worms under control....you "lucked out" and got two yorkies cheap....NOW the money hemorrhage begins! Remembering you usually get what you pay for, "FREE" most often means big bucks getting everything that is wrong, fixed. I can help you with information to get heartworm and flea preventative that is great, that your vet is going to charge you an arm and leg for, very, very cheaply....but they must be vetted first to get them turned around....and you can not give heartworm meds to dogs that are already infected with heartworms, without treatment....these dogs need to be vetted ASAP!!!
