hello all :) 1 Attachment(s) iam a 27 year old male from new york, just purchased a yorki last night! (yeah i know what your thinking... but i fell in love with him) :) he was the smallest of the litter hes suppose to be a teacup. currently hes about the size of a pepsi can and lovesssssss to play. I try to limit his play time to about ten mins per session so he doesnt hurt him self. He doesnt like the nutra-cal at all. i have to pretty much force it in his mouth. Is there somthing else out there that does the same thing but i may have better luck with? here he is :) Attachment 259614 thinking bout naming him Diesel what do you think? :) |
Welcome to YT. I'm a guy with 2 Yorkies, & working on getting a third. Diesel is a great name. Best of luck with your pup. |
Welcome to YT, so happy that you are now a yorkie owner, love his name. You will surely get a lot of advise after everyone settles down from the Holidays. Tricksie was a picky eater, I put her on Life's Abundance, kibble. Good Luck |
I think you need a clearer picture of Diesel;) As long as he's eating and drinking, then don't worry, it's when they get lethargic that they need just a little bit of white karo syrup on their gums. You may never need it. My little girl is a little bigger than a pepsi can and is almost 7 mos old, and right around 2 lbs. I really don't limit her playing time, as she's finally starting to fit in here(we've had her 6 weeks now). I do check her gums periodically if she's not eating, but, when she is eating, and acting normal, I don't mess with her. |
sounds good :) i do have to get better pics, that was taken on a camera phone, and trying to get him to stay still for 10 seconds is almost impossible.. lol |
1 Attachment(s) Hi! :wavey: Welcome! :welcome4: :yorkiesar We have a lot of guys owned by Yorkie's on YT. ;) Yogi didn't like the Nutracal either, and luckily he ate really well and often so never needed it. But it's a good idea to have it on hand so that you can put a dab on the roof of their mouth if necessary. I like the name Diesel. It was one of the ones on our short list for Yogi. As long as the area he's playing in is puppy-safe, you can let him play for as long as he wants. Just be sure his bed is accessible and he'll lay down for a nap when he needs one. Here's Yogi, being the sweet boy that he is, sharing the pillow with his big brother Boo. |
How old is your puppy. He looks very youg in the photo. I would guess 8-10 weeks. He doesn't need the nutri-cal unless he's not eating or has a hypoglycemic episode |
Hi and welcome to YT!! Diesel is a great name!! You will get lots of advice here on YT and you will learn a lot!! |
I like the name. I have a 10 month old yorkie that was also the runt of the liter and she didn't like nutra-cal either. My vet told me to give her karo syrup and it has saved her a few times. She would get wobbly and once she couldn't stand up from her sugar being low. I have a small dropper bottle that I keep karo syrup in and I just give her a couple of dropper fulls and in a minute or two she is fine. Good luck. |
hi and welcome!!! Your baby is such a cutie:) And I loved the name:thumbup: |
Welcome to YT.your baby is cute. |

Hi Welcome to YT. I don't think you have to give them nutrical unless there not eating. |
Your baby is adorable:) How old is he? I agree with the others, nutri cal is not nessary unless he shows signs of stress. If you do need to give it to him, you can just put it on the roof of his mouth. He will probably take it easier that way. It also helps if you keep it in the fridge. It's not so runny that way. |
Congrats!!! Diesel is a cute name for a very cute puppy!! |
Hi & Welcome to YT!:) I think the name is great! Congrats! Jackson:aimeeyork Gracie:aimeeyork Tucker:aimeeyork Rosey:aimeeyork Abigayle:aimeeyork |
Welcome to YT!! Your new baby is sure a cutie!! :D |
Hello and Welcome to YorkieTalk! Congrats on your new furbaby. :) |
Aww He's a real cutie :p Good luck with him Wow... I am surprised about him not liking the Nutri-cal Mine will do ANYTHING for the stuff You don't need it all the time anyway as long as he's eating well I wouldn't worry There are a whole bunch of supplements out there he might like better Just make sure that the one you get is formulated for puppies |
Welcome to YT!!! You will find this a great site to get good information from. Love the name that you have chosen!! Keep the nutrical on hand...... the really the little ones can easily get hypoglycemic. If they don't eat well, it can easily happen. We fed Seymour a small amount of babyfood in a dropper when he was little, also.... (he wasn't a big eater when we got him). He liked to lick our fingers (dipped in Karo syrup), which also helped. |
I can see why you fell in love with him...he's a cutie! |
3 Attachment(s) snapped a few more pics of him, i actually made a thread in the picture section but it never appeared not sure why. |
Welcome to YT :)what a cutie you have! I LOVE the name Diesel xxx xxx |

Welcome to YT and congrats on the new puppy, he is a doll. Diesel is a great name :) |
As a fellow New Yorker I would like to welcome you. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and very nice. They can practically help you with everything you can think of. Your little guy is sooo cute. I can see why you couldn't resist getting him. Just be careful these little guys grow on you real fast. They say they are like chips, you can't just have one. I wish you the best of luck with your new guy. CONGRATULATIONS. :congrats: Sending a great big hug from...:aimeeyorkCOCO :aimeeyorkPEBBLES :aimeeyorkTRIXIE :ghug: |
thanks guys and gals :) the only problem iam having with this guy so far is his anal glands. hes had them drained twice already. poor guy :[ hey jmdt are those your initals by any chance? thats why i chose these 3 letters... lol ;) by the way iam also on long island, iam in franklin square. |
Hi there and welcome. Good luck with your new baby. I'm just here learning I don't have one yet. Connie |
Hi welcome :D I'm sure you are going to love it here..i have learned tons! cute pics Bria also does the one ear up one ear down...like the last pic! :D |
That doesn't sound right, their anal glands usually don't need done at that young of age. Who said the anal glands needed expressed? I would ask the vet about that.. |
