| First time Yorkie owner with a problem Hi I just got my first Yorkie puppy. He is seven-weeks-old, full of energy, and unfortunately full of fleas. I need to treat this problem; he is obviously uncomfortable and won't stop scratching. Considering his very young age, what would be the best way to get rid of the fleas without harming him? -Melissa |

| You can use Dawn dishwashing liquid. You will also have to clean his bedding and vacuum your home to make sure he doesn't get them again. Best of luck!

| Being that he is 7 weeks and still a very fragile baby (keep in mind, most reputable breeders hold pups until 12 weeks) ~ I would get the VET ASAP and consult expert advice. He may have more than just fleas....sorry to say |
