| Hi and Welcome to YT. How old is Marley? How is he doing? I don't know if he came from a puppy mill. Maybe a backyard breeder. Can't wait to see pictures of your little man. Congratulations.

| Prince Marley Hello again...thank you for so many replys.I just noticed a problem in Marley. I took him to the vet last Staurday and he said he was fine except he had a slight ear infection. I noticed today he's sneezing alot and coughing (the sound a cat makes when hacking up a hairball) and i noticed mucus comes out of his mouth sometimes when this coughing occurs. He ate all his food today and has no problem drinking water. He's only 9 weeks but im worried because hes been sleeping more than usual today ( he usually sleeps alot thou because hes a puppy) Should i call the vet? Im nervous i wouldnt want anything to happen to my precious marley. I posted a picture in the picture gallery. Please get back to me thank you very much!!! Megan |

| Yes, just ask you vet! Dollar along with out puppy here have a cough and hacking too. My vet gave me medicine, but he still does it every now and then. i think that it is just something about yorkie! He might have kennel cough. just see what your vet says!

| I would definitely consider taking him to the vet again for his symptoms. Have you talked to the breeder? Did you pick the puppy up or was he shipped? Nine weeks is really young but if he is a larger yorkie it might be okay. Why did your vet think your breeder was a puppy mill? Does she have a lot of dogs? |

| Welcome to YT! I have no idea if it was a puppy mill or not. But I would bring him back to the vet ASAP. He's very young, and sound to me like he's sick. I hope he feels better soon. Please keep us posted.

| Hi and welcome to YT. I would definitely take him to the vet regarding these symptoms. He could possibly have an upper respiratory infection. Good luck with your baby and keep us posted. |
