Hi Ed & Welcome to YT !
Where did this little guy come from ? He may be missing his family & is why he's trying to escape & not eating. As for him not eating,, yorkies can become Hypoglycemic if they don't eat so it's important to get him to eat something. You can give him boiled boneless skinless chicken & white rice, mine like steamed brocolli, green beans & PURE canned pumpkin, apple & bananas. NO pork or turkey dark meat, very lean beef is ok as well. Best to go to a pet store & get some good quality food. Glad you have a vet appt as he might not be eating due to mouth/tooth pain. As for the cat & squirrel, he may just not be interested in them & it's possible he lived with a cat before so he's just cat friendly. If you are worried he could escape out the front door, I would be putting a baby gate there. Also don't use a collar for walking but instead use a harness & the step-in harness is the best as other harnesses can put pressure on his trachea just like a collar AND yorkies Do Not like to sleep alone so if he can't sleep in your bed then at least put his crate in your room & be sure to put something cushy for him to sleep on & mine like to be covered up at night with their blankies. |
