Help need suggestions HI everyone! I just got a new yorkie (8 wks old) :). I also have a chihuahua (6 mo.) both males and need some advice ASAP. Tomorrow I will have to leave them for several hours and I am not sure about where to put each of them. My chihuahua is about 5 lbs and my yorkie is about a lb. I really do not want to separate them into separate rooms, unless that is what you guys think I should do. They do play rough sometimes and the chi will kinda pull on the puppies ears and he will squeal , but then bites back.... I am wondering what everyone's opinions are...should I put them in separate rooms while I am gone, or do you think it would be ok to leave them in the same room together? They will have free reign of the room, as they are not crated. Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated!! |
I just would not take the chance as your Chi is not used to the puppy and he could get rough with the puppy that small. For safety, I would separate them. But I would solemnly rethink leaving a baby Yorkie that young alone for any period of time as they can get low blood sugar very quickly and even die. Being a baby, he could get a tummy upset and start vomiting/having diarrhea and dehydrate quickly also. It is just not a good idea to leave a Yorkie puppy that age unattended. He's a very young baby and needs pretty constant oversight. |
No way would I leave an 8 week old puppy with another older, bigger puppy, nor alone. Can a neighbor or someone puppysit for you? |
thanks guys, yes I can possibly have someone come over and check on him. I wouldn't be gone very long, but see your concerns. |
