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!!!!!

Welcome to YT. What is your pup's name?

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

I was wondering the same thing. He really shouldn't be left alone for long periods.

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.

How much does your baby weigh? How long have you had him? Does he eat/drink well? Does he have a problem pooping and peeing? I'm sure the more knowledgeable breeders will come on soon and that will be their first questions. Let's see... 2 months means that he is roughly around 8 weeks old. It is recommended that yorkie puppies not leave their mothers and litter mates until at least 12 weeks old (min) meaning 3 months. Did your puppy come from a pet shop, breeder, or rescue? It might seem like I'm prying but these questions will give us a better idea of your pup's background. One last question, has he seen a vet for a wellness checkup?

I see others have come to help. I forgot to add, WELCOME TO YT!!!

I think he might be to young for that. We were discussing vaccinations the other day on another thread and a pup usually finishes all his vaccinations at 16 weeks, then before taking them outside it's best to wait another 2 weeks for full immunity. As young as he is now, he is very prone to catching anything as he has little to no protection. Where do you keep him now?

I know what you mean. I fell in love with my boy with the first picture of him I saw. When I finally saw him in person, I knew it was true love. He's the best! I worry when I leave him at home and he's going to be two in Aug.
Even with a good food, nutrical is a good idea to have on hand, he's just so little.

gigir135 · 03-29-2010, 02:12 PM

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.

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.

gigir135 · 03-29-2010, 02:38 PM
