| Help!?!?!?!? New puppy, was told I had a teacup yorkie. Very inexperienced, my first puppy. He was great the first night. But has gone down hill since. Picked him up sunday. Hasn't really been eating. Breeder sent me home with bag a of Eukunaba (Sp) didn't mention to me that he was orginally on puppy chow. Didn't eat, Tuesday, barely ate Wed, took him to vet Yesterday. They checked him and told me that he is only 4 weeks old, seperated from mom too early and that is why I am having problems. He is only 1 pound 2 ozs. I don't know what to do with him. He wont eat the puppy chow. I added water to soften it up since he has no teeth. He just wants to lay around not active at all. Please help. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | go to the store and get some cans of condense goat milk I am told that goats milk is the closest to moms milk for a puppy, don't use the puppy formula can give him diarreah, also get a bottle, that pup needs to eat.. mix the can of milk with a can of water, add some karo syrop, grind some of the puppy food and mixed it, let him lick it from a saucer if not put the milk mixture in a bottle run it under a warm water until is baby feed warm and feed him that. Best of luck.. |

Honestly, some breeders should just be scalded for the lack of concern they show for their pups. Anything for a buck....

| The vet really didn't say much, add water to food, give him karo syrup or honey, monitor his eating, they checked him for worms, heart murmur his hearing. all that was normal . no worms. no fever either. When I call the breeder she insist that he is 7 weeks turning 8. she had to back back litters she said so she may be unsure. I don't know. but it is frustrating because i don't know what else to do for him. I will try the goat milk. |

| He may be a bit older than 4 weeks since many Yorkies don't have teeth until later but, if he is that young, the meat or canned food may not be a good idea. You can soften some kibble in water or goat's milk and feed that. If he won't eat, you may need to use a syringe (with no needle) or just put it on your finger and get it in his mouth. You have to make sure he eats or you will lose him.

I think you've got two duplicate threads going. I replied in your other thread. Did you get papers that state his date of birth? How did you find this breeder? | |

What registry are the papers from? If they are from anything but the AKC, they aren't worth anything. | |

Another thing you can feed him is Whelping Puuding 12 oz of distilled water warmed in the Microwave, disolve 1 envelope of unflavored geletin in the water, add 1 12 oz can of Evaporated Milk 2 Tablespoons of Karo Syrup 2 Tablespoons of Vanila Yogurt 2 well beaten egg yolk. Chill until firm. Spoon feed the pup this mixture or you can syringe feed him.
