Getting them used to a crate is extremely important because they are used in emergencies, for any stays at Vets and groomers and so on. Another option would be to set up an exercise pen in your bedroom and have a bed for her in there. I love the buddy belt harnesses because they don’t put any pressure on their tracheas and last their lifetime normally. Step in harnesses are generally better. I use a snoozer car seat in the car where it’s like an elevated bed and there are many different types and brands out there. I would stop the raw because it isn’t safe and posses health risks to not just her but anyone who comes in contact with her. I would try maybe some wet food mixed with dry food in a good brand like Royal Canin. | Quote:

That way if you need to stop suddenly she won't be affected. Also, the first couple of nights might be good to have her in a crate nearby your bed so she can see you. That will make her feel more secure. I might not put her in the bed right away since she is not used to it, if she falls or jumps off, she could break her neck. So many dangers lurking for the little ones. Good luck to you and thank you for rescuing! Please keep us posted on how it goes for you. | Quote:

When you take her to the Vet, talk to the him/her with how to do it and/or what to feed - otherwise, you may end up with a Yorkie that has stomach issues and diarrhea. Perhaps get a good probiotic from the Vet to help her stomach.
Take care. |   |
