hello were new here!
 

hello everyone im so excited to have found this forum...I just got my baby yorkie yesterday...I travaled a few hrs to get him..the pups were very cheap...and when we got there, even tho the pups didnt look the greatest..and they were all scared to death of people,,,we decided to rescue him out of there, we named him Riley Blue,,he is 14 weeks old. and pretty sick, I knew there was someting wrong with him while we were at the breeder..that is why i picked him..as strange as that sounds...but i figured he needed to get out of there the worst. I took him to the vet first thing this morning..and the vet said he either has very very bad kennel cough or phnemonia..she put him on and antibiotic for 10 days...if he is not feeling better in 3 days its back to the vet for xrays, you can feel him weezing when you pet him..he is still a little shy with us,,but he is coming around..I got him some vitimens and puppy formula to give him a little boost..I raise Bichons,,and this is my first yorkie...I have wanted one for soooo long. we are so happy to have him, I gave him a bath today that he was in dire need of, and a trim, I think that alone made him feel a little better. I will take some pictures in a day or so,,dont want to stress him out anymore than he already is,,I cant waite to talk to some yorkie owners..it seems nice here.

welcome to YT...did you buy from a puppy mill? I just wanted to say that buying from a puppy mill only supports...no matter how bad you feel for the puppy, buying for them is supporting them...

Well, welcome to YT. Your story concerns me though... Where did you purchase your dog? And by very "cheap" what do you mean? I know you probably feel good like you saved this dog, but buying dogs from people who raise sick puppies is only supporting them. Like the person above me said. If the rest of the dogs seemed sick and the place seemed dirty or something you should consider reporting this place.

no puppy mill!
 

No it was not a puppy mill,,,it was an older lady that breeds them....we wouldnt go to a puppy mill.

Welcome to YT. I hope your puppy gets better. Post some pictures when you can.

Welcome to YT. We are all really nice but really feel that breeding is for the betterment of the breed. Puppy mills are really not caring for the dog. And that is why we all will say that if this place has sick dogs you really need to turn them in. Its the best for all those dogs. Otherwise you only rescued one and the rest could possible die. Think of it if you turn them in if its in really bad conditions the rest of those animals could get rescued and well.

Welcome to YT!! I'm new here also and would be completely lost without these great, knowledgable people! Hope your baby feels better soon!!

I wanted to say Welcome to the site! I'm glad your here! We have lots of info that you will need!

No matter how sorry you felt for him, you are just keeping this breeder in business! When people stop and realize how bad she is, it will put her out of business! reporting her may help.

I'm sorry your lil guy is sick, i sure hope he is ok!

Welcome!

:yorkietal WELCOME TO YORKIETALK :yorkietal

I am so glad that you found this sight. Here's a warm welcome and a get well wish for your Riley Blue. I hope that he is a healthy happy outgoing yorkie pup VERY soon. Can't wait to see pics.

No the house looked ok,,,but the puppys were very scared....she had 3 of them they were 350.00 and when I picked this one up i could just tell there was something not right,,I picked up the others as well they semed ok except for being very shy and in much need of a bath. well if i did the wrong thing by taking him out of there,,,then shame on me...but I felt like it was the right thing to do, and we love him very much and are giving him a very good home, with good food and vet care and all the love and patient in the world,,,,in my opinion the little guy is better for it...and as far as reporting the breeder...I dont have much to go on,,the areas of the property that we saw were clean, and all the proper paper work was there, they had food and water in their bowls. so if someting is goingon that shouldnt then they are very careful about covering it up.

please don't feel as though we are jumping at you...we care so much about the breed that sometimes hearing such a heart breaking story like yours gets us hype per say...hehe

but now that he is home with you...please post pictures because we love pictures...hehe...what has happen already happen so lets just move forward now...hehe

Congrats on your new addition and welcome to YT!! Can't wait to see pictures of your little fur baby!!

I agree, you may feel somewhat attacked right now but don't think it is bc we are mean people, we just care so much about the breed. We all love dogs so we hate hearing stories of pups who are sick bc they aren't being properly cared for. I am glad that you took Riley Blue to the vet. I will be praying for his safe recovery.

Please do keep us updated with his progress bc I would love to hear that he made a full recovery. And yes, we would all love to see pics of your new addition!!

Please don't be discouraged away from YT, it really is an amazing place. i have met so many amazing people here and also there is so much good info here esp. for a new yorkie mom!!

Hope to see you around!!

Hello & welcome :)

It sounds like your puppy has found a really good, kind, loving home with you & I hope he's soon feeling better.

Welcome to YT. I hope your little one gets better soon. It sounds like he is now in a wonderful, caring family. He sounds so sweet.

Congrats on your pup! I hope he gets well real soon. I know he will bring you great joy! He is lucky to have you! Welcome to yt!:D I love his name!

Welcome and I also hope your baby gets much better soon! I agree that your baby is lucky to have you.....

Welcome to YT! :yorkietal You did a very good, decent thing :D Taking home a little guy that was sick, and knowing that the vet bills would be coming. You have plenty of love to give, AND Riley is very lucky to have you.:aimeeyork He sounds adorable. :animal-pa:congrats: I hope he starts feeling better quickly. Nobody likes to see a little pup ill.:animal-pa I hope you stay around, and enjoy it in here.:aimeeyork

Least the house was decent! I have seen some that stunk so bad it would take your breath away!

It angers me that these type of people are treating innocent animals like live stock and getting away with it.

How small was your lil guy? He may just have not been getting the nutrients he needs from his mama, and if she was not fed properly, then that may be the problem.

I hope you post pics of your new lil guy! He sounds like he is very lucky to have found you!

well he weighed in at the vets this mornign at 4lb..he is 14 weeks old so she said the wieght was ok..he had a long trip home yesterday,,and then the vets this morning,,he is resting comfortably right now....this was a big day for him..so im gonna let him rest a bit and mabey take some pictures tonight, he is such a little cutie..he is becoming less shy already..he is not running away from us now..I dont think he was socialized very well. but i think he is learning that he can trust us. he is eating and drinking and looking better already, im crossing my fingers that the antibiotic takes care of his conjestion. we will know in a few days.

Awwww I bet he is just so ahppy to be with his new mommy! How exciting!

Sounds like he is a good size. When does he go back to the vet?

Glad he is eating and drinking for you!

I bet the poor lil guy is just pooped from everything!

Welcome, I am new here too, getting my baby next Friday! Post pictures, can't wait to see him and I hope he is feeling better soon. Sounds like Riley Blue found himself a great momma!
