I'm going to get in touch with my vet today and have done alot of reading. I am both nervous and excited about this little girl. I would never promote breeding this small, but she needs a loving home as her Mom is terminally ill.

This little girls breath is so bad i can smell it from ground or lap level. I will set up for cleaning but fear there is a bigger problem.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Most likely a dental issue Sugar has them as well but her's are getting under control with regular brushings and a round of antibiotics

Hello and Welcome to YorkieTalk! Your new furbaby is a doll.

Welcome to YT! Your furbaby is absolutely adorable and so lucky to have found a great new mom like you! Yorkies and many small dog breeds are notorious for having dental issues. At least, that is what my vet told me. Nikko had his teeth cleaned recently, but I had it done while he was being neutered so he was completely under. However, my vet usually does it under mild sedation. It seems scary because she is so tiny, but it is so important. Dental problems can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
