Be sure to check the regional forums because you can post for your specific area like the tri-state area (NJ/NY/DE, etc.)
I am very close to Moorestown and Mount Laurel...how about you? I bet you are excited to get your pup!
Hypoglycemia is a condition where the pup's sugar drops so low that he/she will appear lifeless or just unresponsive. It can happen from not eating/drinking much due to stress or traveling a lot when they are very young. Diamond had it once when she was around 10 weeks and she was in the hospital for almost 2 days. I almost lost her, her blood sugar was at 9! As you can imagine, I was a WRECK.
The most important thing is to get a tube of nutrical (sugar supplement) or the syrup (I think it's called kyro syrup?) With the syrup, you put a little on their gums in the mouth and it will raise their blood sugar. With nutrical, I just put a little on my finger and Diamond licks it up, she loves it! Only give it to the pup if he/sher seems out of it or not really like themselves. At least, you know about it now before you get your pup. I had no knowledge of it prior to getting Diamond.
You may want to get a book on Yorkies to help you too. Be sure to use a harness as opposed to a collar. Little dogs like Yorkies can get tracheal collapse from a lot of pulling/tugging on the collar. The harness is more gentle on them and more comfortable. You should check out Tiger's_Mom website, she has the CUTEST harnesses
If you need anything let me know...I have had Diamond since March so it's been a few months but I have certainly learned a lot since then!!!!
