I would get him checked by a vet. Sounds like he may have some vision or neurolgical problems, possibly even liver shunt. Hope that's not the case...

How old is Chip?

[neil_ali]

chip is about 10 weeks old now

[AmeliaBadelia]

Just wanted to say that I was LOL at your euphemism!!

On a more serious note, I hope your puppy turns out to be ok.

[teri88]

At 10 weeks I wouldn't be concerned about the potty training issues, that's a long road. But, and I don't want to scare you, but you are describing my first yorkie, Bandit. Please take Chip to a vet. It could be very serious, and the earlier you catch him, the better off he will be. I hope everything turns out ok.

[neil_ali]

what was wrong with your first yorkie, if ya dont mind us asking? we asked the vet about his eye, and he said it was nothing serious, just another way to distinguish him from other dogs.

Sometimes its good to get a second opinion!

You need a new vet.....Bandit got a "clean bill of health" from our first vet. Two weeks later he was dead. He had a neurological disorder and we had an appt. scheduled with a neurologist/vet but the day before the appt. he had several seizrures and he died during one of them. He used to walk funny, the best way to describe it is "diagnoally" across the room. His left eye "roamed" and he would walk into things, or just stand there and stare off into space. We found out after he died that he had a liver shunt also. Had we caught it early enough he would probably still be here with the right medications. Bandit was from a puppy mill/pet store but we didn't know anything about those places until I joined YT right after we got him.

I don't mean to sound harsh or want to scare you, but if something is wrong the sooner you know the better it will be for Chip. I hope and pray that it isn't serious.

Totally agree. He needs to be seen immediately.

[Ladylavender]

I think these things are normal puppy behaviors:

how long did it take u all to get yours house trained because we have triend every thing he thinks a litter tray is a toy to dig in the pee pads-new bed will go every where and he tries to eat everything even his own poop????????????

These are not:

his left eye is a bit lazy and wanders sometimes facing outwards and he keeps walking into doors and walls

A puppy is still very immature and will not listen all the time and stuff just takes a while to sink in. I would definitely have a neuro vet check him for the eye and walking problems.

I hope it's nothing serious keep us updated, best wishes, kez.
