Are you sure that Ellie is eating the biscuits between meals??.. I think for a puppy that is tiny like her she should be eating more than 3 times a day. She's probably in need of more food to put her weight back +grow normally. My girl is 2.5lb at 11 months and I used to give her food 5 to 6 times a day to control her Hypoglycemia and sometimes it wasn't enough because I couldn't keep an eye on her during the night.. result.. in the morning she was really bad... Her attacks were happening often but when I started doing this they completely disappeared. I still have to keep a close eye on her until today. She might be feeling stressed because of Bri as well.. afterall is frightening enough being in a new home... imagine being around someone who doesnt like you (for now)... keeping her separated so she can have a nice 'safe' sleep helps a lot...maybe a playpen or another room like it was suggested already... if she tends to feel cold at night... more energy consuming for her as well.. trying to keep their temperature.. warm wheat bag or a warm hot bottle of water (I used this last one... for me it was the best..just warm.. never hot..) I am sure she will be alright.. you are doing great already.. a good:animal-pa mummy for little Ellie.. :p enjoy!!!:) |
Thanks again for the suggestions! She goes into her pack in play to sleep and is crated at night. Today I tried adding more food into her diet and she wasn't feeling it! We're slowly adjusting. She is the sweetest little thing, but is SO tiny! |
My friend has a little tiny one. She suffered from tapeworms , and lost weight. The yorkie is already so little, and became even more so , ended up being skin and bones before my friend knew what was causing the weight loss. She is a very tiny yorkie with a lot of spunk . She follows my friend everywhere. I would be so nervous having her at my place. Because of her size i would be scared that she could be stepped on or hurt by juping on and off furnitiure. Special care is needed for these precious little ones. I think keeping the blood sugar levels up is a 24/7 job. I am very grateful to have a full sized yorkie. Even though my friends yorkie is adorable, she scares me. I have not seen my friends yorkie in a while, so I do not know if her yorkie has gained weight. When I first brought Suzi home she was 3 pounds already. To me that is very small. But, i have seen smaller ones fully grown. |
