Welcome. Sounds like a fun group of yorkies. I have 4 as well, my oldest is around 15-16 and my youngest is 3. My littlest one sometimes gets carsick so I don't feed her for a couple of hours before we go and she does better.

Does your older Yorkie have any physical problems? Mine
has dementia so doesn't always tell you he has to go
potty. Vet says to treat him like a puppy and put him
out often. I got some pills I have been giving him for
this, and so far don't think it has helped that much.
Have given him these pills for about 2 weeks though.
So sad to see them get old. Of course he doesn't
hear well and has cataracts. Last winter he had
a small lump on his left side. It got a big bigger so
vet removed it, and it was cancerous, but she
said the chances of it spreading was very low.

hear well and has cataracts.

Nikki was found on the streets about 3 years ago and my vets think he is 16 years old. I have never had one this old. He doesn't hear well at all. Today when I came home and the other 3 went nuts barking, Nikki never even woke up. He has trouble seeing and lately has gotten more aggressive with one of my girls. I have had him since February and he never liked Cali from day one, I have no idea why as she is a sweetheart. Luckily he has no teeth so he can't hurt her. I just had him to the vet and he said his heart was strong and he had good muscle tone but I think he has that doggy dementia and it is getting worse. He will run around looking all over for me and will keep running right by me. Also, he will wake up and look like he doesn't know where he is for awhile. It is sad to see them age. So far he uses the potty pads but I know if he had to rely on just going outside he would be having accidents. I know he was having accidents at his previous owners apartment as she was very elderly and only took him out 3 times a day.

Since you mentioned having a yorkie with dimentia, I thought you might be interested in reading this thread:

I have 4 Yorkies: Sassy Raz, age 15-1/2, Roxie, age 3,
and Lily and Macy, each 1. They all have a little
different personalities, as well as some annoying ways.
Lily and Macy are sisters, and they can be a little
different as well. Lily sometimes gets car sick and
throws up. Any ideas on what to do? They never
get enough attention or loving. My first Yorkie,
Daisy, lived to be 17 years old. She had congestive
heart failure. It was so hard when she passed away
3 years ago.

So cute with bows in their hair, but I usually don't do it,
as some groomers don't know how to make the bow stay
in. And, sometimes the dogs take them out. If you can
do it yourself, that is great!!
