Hello Hello. I am new to YorkieTalk. I have never posted on a forum before so I hope I am doing this correctly. My name is Tiffany and I just bought my first Yorkie on Saturday. She is 10 weeks old and her name is Layla. My husband is in the Army and will be deploying soon so we decided it was time to add a puppy to our family. I do have a question... Layla has dandruff on her bottom. Is this normal? Do I need to get this checked out, or will it just go away?. I haven't seen her itch except around her ears so I am not sure the cause of the dandruff. |
Welcome to YT, Tiffany, and congratulations on your Yorkie pup. You're going to love her. I'm not familiar with the dandruff problem, but it doesn't sound serious to me. Hopefully, someone with more experience will be able to help. In the meantime, I'm glad you found us and hope you find lots of good information. Can't wait to see pics of Layla, too! |
Welcome to YT! Sorry, I'm not familiar with dandruff problems either :( but would love to see a picture of your new baby! |
Thank you Thank you. I hope it is not serious. It seems like she should be okay. |
Welcome to YT, so nice to meet you:) I'm sorry I can't help you on what this could be on your furbabies bottom, hopefully some others can be of help, I just wanted to welcome you and your lil one to YT. |
Just want to welcome you too. Hello and enjoy your stay, I think it's going to be a long one... YT is very addictive! Sheilagh |
Pictures Thank you everyone. I just uploaded a few pictures of Layla to my gallery. At least I hope they are there. How do I add a video? |
Welcome to you and Layla! |
Welcome to YT! :) There is a section here called 'my yorkie videos'. In that section (at the top) is a sticky with information about videos. I would love to see one of little Layla. I have no advice about the dandruff except to make sure that she has had a vet check since she's been home. If not, you really need to do that anyway, and you can ask about the dandruff. |
Hello and Welcome to YT :) |
Welcome to YT. Layla is a pretty name. We want lots of pictures. :D |
:D Welcome to both you and Layla! As someone else said, this place can be addictive! |
Hi, and welcome to YT. Haven't ever heard about dandruff on their bottom, it could be something else. Regardless, all new puppies should be taken to the vet for a checkup. Most breeders won't release a yorkie, before the age of 12 weeks, and this tells me something about the breeder. Did you get a shot record from the breeder? Is she scratching her ears a lot? |
Welcome :) |
Thanks I did not actually meet the breeder. I only met Ms Smith, the translator. When my daughter and I saw the puppy we fell in love, and I did not think to ask the questions I should have. She said the puppy had been dewormed the day we bought her which was the 19th. I do know that they had taken her to the vet that day and they did not want to give her her first shots for another week since she had just been dewormed. She had a few flakes at that time, but Ms Smith said the vet said that was normal. She showed me the paperwork, but it was all in German so I couldn't make it all out. I made an appt with the vet here on base, but they cannot see Layla until next week. We are using the same dog food they had been feeding her called Christopherus, and she said we needed to start adding a pedigree dry dog food slowly to that. She also said we needed to get her Yogurt treats until she is 1 yr old. I am going to call her back, because I just realized when we brought her home that she did not come with any papers just dog food and a dewormer we were told to give to her in a week. Is that normal for them not to come with papers unless you ask? I feel really stupid now for not asking questions up front. I was just so excited to finally get a puppy. We had been looking for a puppy to love since October and got scammed from someone in Cameroon Africa in the process. I appreciate everyone's input and I just want to give my Layla the best life possible with lots of love. |
