Just a FYI I will be taking her to the vet for a full exam next week but for the time being I need your advice as i dont know much about Yorkie Care.
She does not sleep through the night at least twice she gets up.
She does not know how to properly use a puppy pad at night she misses and gets pee and poop on the floor.
She has bad skin with tons of dandruff/ big flakes and I have been combing her daily; she came with a medicated shampoo, she has a LOT of hair loss and her hair is slow growing back.
Teeth have Plaque on them and I think she is missing some or is in pain she does not let me touch her mouth.
She is overweight I weighed her at 12 lbs
she wont eat crunchy food - teeth issue I give her wet food instead.
HELP I love her and just want her back to full health!  |
I strongly recommend you get the book, "Yorkies For Dummies"....you can order it from Amazon.com, you can also find it at PetCo....you will benefit immensely and learn tons of important, useful, and valuable information that you need!
Wonderful thing you are doing, taking in this neglected baby girl! She will grow into a wonderful companion for you....remember she probably has trust issues coming from her previous environment, so this will take time and patience!
