To me, it sounds like your sister needs to do some more research on yorkies and the importance of feeding them properly. Does she realize if she doesn't feed him enough he could go into a hypoglycemic shock and die?
Many people on here have had this happen to them...would your sister rather have no yorkie than one who might be a little bigger than her "purse ideal"
Sounds like she needs to do some soul searching to me and if I were her brother I'd make sure he was fed more or I'd call the authorities. |
I'm sorry, but it's just absolutely ridiculous that she even thinks it's somewhat okay to starve her puppy. The fact is, if she continues to starve the puppy and give it only 20% - 25% of the required amount of food, the puppy
will die... not stay small, but die.
If I were you, I would plead to her to start feeding the puppy - if she doesn't, I would be calling the authorities.
That is just absolutely disgusting that she would really think that not feeding a living animal is okay... just so it can stay small. I'm so
right now that I'm sick.
