New Yorkie I've been lurking since August learning what I can about yorkies in the hopes of adding one to our family. We were offered a 3 year old little girl by a family who could no longer care for her. She came to live with us on Monday. I took her to the vet yesterday and she weighed 3 pounds. He told me she was emaciated and malnourished. I knew that because I could feel every bone in her body. He wormed her and she expelled a tape worm today. Yea! I've got to get her up to 4 1/2 pounds so that she can be spayed. What a wonderful little dog - so responsive and loving. She is on vitamins for 3 weeks and a good grade of dog food - eating like a pig! She has a grade 2 heart murmer. I hope nothing comes of that but if it does we are here for her. Thanks for the wonderful threads and the knowledge here. It has helped a lot. |
welcome to yt.. so glad you stopped lurking and joined us lol.. thanks for taking this baby in.. you sound like a wonderful person. cant wait to see pictures of your baby. |
Welcome to YT! I am so glad that your sweet girl found you, it sounds like she is in wonderful hands. I can't wait for pictures. |
Hi And Welcome!:):):):) Congrats on your adoption.:D I too adopted an adult (21/2 yo) and he was underweight too, 3lb 11oz. (should be 4lb according to doc) Now he's wormed, neutered and on EVO, and seems to be gaining a little:rolleyes:. The vet also told me he had a murmur, but that was all. Except mine is a little boy. Did the vet say if its a problem or not? I know humans can have them and they mean nothing.?!? |

Hi and COngrats on the new baby in your life. My hubby is kidded at work cause of our furbabies. We have a Yorkie (of course), a chihuahua and boston terrier. The chihuahua is "his" dog and the breed he wanted. All of the guys at work have "manly" dogs like pit bulls and such. Did I mention the way a 300 lb looks with a 5 lb yorkie in one arm and a 4.5 lb chi in the other? Sexy to me! |
Thanks so much for the kind replies. She is adjusting very well and is always in my lap if she isn't playing with her new squeaky toys. I'll try to get some pictures up soon! |
