Hello all. I am new to this site and am currently trying to navigate my way through. I have two Yorkie's... my 7 year old male, Pippen, at 6 lbs. and his 5 year old daughter, Teagan, at 5 lbs. I found this site after searching for answers for a health issue they are having. Teagan was sick over the New Year holiday. Now she is better, and he is sick. I think he may be going to the Vet later today. They both have very sensitive stomachs and are frequently sick with bouts of vomiting and diarreah, for a day or so and then it's gone. Pippen is worrisome though today because his stool is bloody mucus. Just a little, but it's still a worry. He has had the mucus before, but not the bloody looking stool he has today. I am concerned...
My extended family are Yorkie lovers as well, with 5 among them, in different areas of the State. They all have the same issues.
I wonder if maybe it's a Yorkie thing..???? Anyone else have any thoughts?

That said, I am always looking for great new pictures of Yorkie's, and look forward to seeing some of yours. If I can figure out how, I will post a couple of mine as well.
