Everytime Ive seen her she always has tons of energy. hes just the cutest little furball! If I am to get her what would you guys recomend omend?
If this were a pup that I had produced, this pup would be going nowhere. Given the age and the size and the hypoglycemia, I very strongly suspect there is something else wrong. It could be very serious.
I would never leave this pup on its own for longer than maybe an hour or two at best. I would not sell this pup to anyone. I would never recommend purchasing this pup.
If this were one of mine, I would be keeping it to at minimum a year of age, if it still was on this earth. By then, it would be showing me if there was anything further wrong with it or it would have gotten over whatever was going on.
Yorkies were not meant to be this size. Some are and are healthy but there is the greater risk that it is not. It could end up being a tragedy for you, or a series of very high Vet bills and that is assuming you have a Vet that knows what they are doing. Not all Vets have a clue about Toy dogs much less one this undersized.
