 Underweight yorkie runt
Hello everyone,
This is my first post. I have a new Yorkie I purchased from a very reputable breeder.
I got first choice of the pups she (breeder) wasn't keeping. There were 3 pups, I got to choose from 2 one male and one female. I always wanted a female Yorkie. This is my first Yorkie.
When I went to see them I fell in love with the boy as his sisters were being so mean to him. He was the runt.
At 12 weeks he weight 1lb and 5 oz. Vet said he would grow healthy.
At 26 weeks now he weighs only 2 lbs and 4 ounces. The vet gave me a special food to feed him so he can gain more weight. in one month he only gained 2 ounces. I also feed him boiled chicken as he has a sensitive stomach. Breeder said "don't worry, he'll be fine". She told me to give him a supplement which I do twice daily.
I'm worried that he is so small. He was tested for EVERYTHING and all was fine. He's very active and sweet.
Does anyone know of anything else I could feed him that will put some meat on his bones? Any ideas will be appreciated. |
