A Little Dissappointed To congratulate my 2yr old daughter on successful potty training, I decided to buy her a Yorkie today (which she has wanted for months) however when Zola (puppy) went poopie we discovered she had worms. She has had her first set of shots but I'n concerned for the health of my daughter and the puppy. What can I use to cure this problem I a for sure taking her to the vet tomorrow!!! I just want some outside advice!! :confused: |
If you are seeing small white bits of worm like a grain of rice, that is likely tape worms (usually caused by ingesting fleas). It is quite easily cleared up with medication from the vet. Don't try the over the counter products from drug stores or pet stores, it doesn't work that well. Check for fleas too, and treat if necessary. |
A 2 year old wanted a Yorkie for months? Becareful with the pup, and your daughter. The pup may nip, and your daughter many drop it, especially since some adults seems to have a hard time holding these little dogs. Best of luck with the worms. |

Worms are pretty common in young pups. Just go to vet and get a de-wormer, it's easily taken care of. Also, how big is this Yorkie? A tiny Yorkie pup is not usually a good match for a 2year old. I know my boy is 16lbs (big for a Yorkie) and we live with a 3 year old (she was 1 when we got him) and they really do love each other but still have to watched at ALL times as she could get rough with him. |

Worms can be easily taken care of... However, some vets send the fecal sample to a lab....Labs are evaluating for pin worms, hook worms, etc. But, not tape....so the pup will have to be treated for both....two different types of meds. And tapeworm meds are harsh for little pups..... |
Wow most kids are barely talking at 2 and yours managed to ask for a Yorkie. I think you wanted the Yorkie and were using your daughter as a ventriloquist dummy to convince yourself to get one hahahahaha. When I got Teegy my breeder gave me 72 hours to get a vet check done and if there was any issues she would take him back. I feel you should do the same, did your breeder provide you with the health information and innoculations of your pup. They ususally just give a dewormer and they are fine |

Six months ago he called Lady a cat, though, so we're making progress! Has the puppy been for its vet check yet? Your vet will do a fecal and check for worms, then prescribe the appropriate medication. |

Hmmm,. .... April 1st? |
I hope I hope this is a bad April Fools Joke......... No Yorkie puppy should have to go through what this one will endure at the hands of a 2 yr old. As other poster said.... the first time the puppy nips the 2 year old the puppy will get the blame and be punished........ And if this is true,,,,,,, she probably bought the Yorkie at a Pet Store. |

I got a few dirty looks from the other moms.:rolleyes: |

The only thing that I can find wrong with this post is if the OP is playing an April Fool's joke or trying to ruffle feathers here intentionally. That being said, IF this story were true it sounds like she wanted the puppy more so than a two year old (only makes sense). So, if she truly has come here for worm in the poo advice, she has already recieved some. Please just take the puppy to the vet and get a fecal, etc and they will be able to assist you further. Also, just because you have small children does not mean a Yorkie will endure a life of pain or neglect that has been implied. Are there increased risks, obviously. I have small children as do many people on here and some pregnant, and our Yorkies are just as happy, healthy and protected as someone without such. JMO....... |
Whatever you do, just separate the pup and the kiddo until the pup has gone to the vet and the worms are totally treated and gone. I'd be keeping the puppy's things away from the child also. Some worms that dogs carry (round in particular, I think) can cause blindness in children. Please separate them immediately until this is taken care of. |
Fecal sample (put it in a bag as soon as you get one and take it to the vet) Panacor and the vet...hmm my daughter spoke in complete sentences at 10 months...she got a Yorkie after she was 10 years old...because ultimately even though my 11 year old has a Yorkie, my 6 year old has a Schnorkie and Dad has a Miniature Schnauzer...they are all my dogs... |
We took her to the vet today and she is 2.8lbs, we did get the de wormer which she must take for 3 days. Everything should be fine!! :) |

The more you talk with your grandson the faster he will pick up and talk back with you!! :) |
No she was purchased from a breeder. I'm so glad my daughter is much more mature than the kids out there. She will never harm anything!!! |
This is something I can relate to, my daughter is 2 and she can actually have a small conversation with you in which we both understand eachother. Some children catch on fasted than others. Some parents become a little jealous. lol |

hmm is this another one of those FB ppl come here to start drama? :rolleyes: Who gets a Yorkie for a 2 year old besides what BYB sells one under these circumstances well oh ye one of "those breeders" :cool: Yet another newbie with a ludacris post who ensues help gets it and then says how rude YTers are for wasting their time helping someone...getting tiring.:mad: |
Glad you took the pup to the vet and that everything will be ok. You asked if it's wrong to have gotten a Yorkie for a 2 year old. Just be careful as Yorkies are very fragile and need to be handled very delicately. On another note: What makes this post ludacris? Why even bring FB drama into this? I believe (and of course I could be wrong) that the OP was simply asking about worms. Who gets a Yorkie for a 2 year old? Probably someone who doesn't realize how fragile they are. I can read through this thread and see some very polite, yet direct constructive criticism and also some rudeness. |
All of my kids were earlier talkers too, talking in complete sentences by the time they were 2 but none of them asked me out right for a puppy and I certianly wouldnt run right out and get them one. That being said. I got my toy poodle when my son was 3, she was about a pound then and although he was very gentle with her they were always under constant supervision, he always sat on the floor with her and I would never allow him to hold her and wallk around, he had to sit at all times. I would suggest you do the same with your own child. NEVER leave her alone with the puppy no mater how mature you feel she is all is takes is one drop to the floor or the pup being stepped out to seriously hurti the dog. Wishing you the best of luck with your new pup. |

I am very careful when young children in the neighborhood want to pick up and hug Remy that's all. Quote:
I think talking to, READING books (my passion is reading to children), and alway asking open ended questions or not answering their questions with a closed ended answer (why is the sky blue?... well WHY do YOU think the sky is blue?) when possible (doesn't work on math:confused::rolleyes:) Can you tell I teach Child Development??? LOL GOOD LUCK WITH YOU NEW BABY!!! |
