Hello... My new puppy is a teacup yorkie and he is 2 month old ... all he do is sleep is this normal ... he looks alil sad ... also i work 8 hrs a say is it ok to leave him alone with lots of toys :(?? any advice worried... |
how much does your "teacup" weigh? i would not leave my baby alone for that lonf even if she was 10. There is no such thing as a teacup yorkie you'll find that out here quickly so just drop that term breeders that breed there smallest dog together to create the "teacup" size are usually just in it for the money i hope you didnt pay more for her status.... having a smaller dog can create all sorts of health issues for them...its kinda like having a very premature human baby lots of hospital care underdevoloped and so on and so forth but to answer your questions babys sleep ALOT my baby is 4 months old and she sleeps more then a cat do not leave it alone that long find some other way and go out TODAY if you can and get a tube of nutrical follow dosing directions but do that asap!!!!! |

When a pup is that young and small, he needs close supervision. Do you have anyone you could ask to look after your baby while you are working? |
see if you can find someone to puppy sit for you why you at work ... are start looking for a play mate so he not alone :D |

These babies are prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) so they need to eat more frequently. What are you feeding him? Do you have any Nutrical on hand? He's still very young, and they do sleep a lot at his age. |

Even with a good food, nutrical is a good idea to have on hand, he's just so little. |

Im feeding him natural balance small bites for puppies and water and for treat little jacs bil jac... should i give him real food or milk? I really appreciate all ur help... |
Welcome to YT so glad you found us. :) Your little guy is very young so I could understand why you would be worried about leaving him alone while you are working such long hours. He is too young to be taken to Doggy Daycare for that is not even an option for you until he is fully vaccinated at about 16 weeks. Could you possibly pay a neighbor to come and check on him during the day? Do both you and your husband leave at the same time or is there an overlap so he is not left quite so long. Puppies will sleep a lot they are just like babies and being that he is only 8 weeks old he is pretty much a newborn so it is to be expected. You are feeding him a decent food so that is good. :thumbup: He should go to the vet in the next few days to be examined to ensure that he is healthy too. As others has said it is very important that he eats and drinks for that he does not get hypoglycemic which is very dangerous. Really is does not matter if he came from a pet shop or from a breeder at this point, it is just good that you have found YT so that you can have help if you need it. Do you have him in a crate or an Xpen? How do you plan on containing him while you are at work? An Xpen is wonderful it allows them to move around and also be contained for their safety. |
i have alil crate but i have a long empty hallway and thought of leaving him there where he can walk around and also leave his bed there and lots of toys and his food and water but i'm not sure is this is ok to do? I work from 8 to 6 .. should i give him milk? |
