2 am New Yorkie home 6 hours i cant breath
 

Hi all, sorry to write a title like that, but I just purchased a teacup yorkie 3 lbs, 5 months old and he is so adorable, fun and sweet. My 8 year old daughter is absolutely in love with this little guy.

I had no allergic reaction in a very nice pet store where he was purchased, Just Pups in Paramus, NJ. Played with him, put him to rest in his bed and little area, we wall went to sleep. It is now after 2:00 a.m. and my throat is closed. I am not watery eyes, or scratchy throat, my throat and chest feel really heavy and closed. I am not allergic to anything.

Would they put a flea powder on a tiny pup, if all the dogs in the store at tiny, and young, would there be a need for flea powder. They washed and dried the pup before I received him. I want to try and keep this little guy, but I have a feeling if I do not get better in the next hour, I will be visiting the hospital.

I checked the breeders receipt and it lists black and gold yorkie. It is a little yorkie.

I am so scared, my daughters heart will be broken.

Can you all help me with your experience as to what will naturally subside an allergic reaction to this cutie pie.

Could he still have flea poweder or pet store junk on him even after they washed him.

I have never had an allergic reaction to a pet before, please not this one.....

all help appreciated. I do not think pet stores accept returns/exchanges if Im having an allergic emergency :-(

First off, if You bought from a Pet Store, your puppy prolly came from a Puppy Mill. Google> puppy mill

There's no telling if the puppy is carrying disease. You'll need to take the pup to a good vet ASAP to rule out respitory infection, ect.

My Wife is very allergic to dander. That's the main reason we have a Yorkie. She has had no reaction to our newest member to the family. He's been with us for 3 weeks now.

When I brougt my last one home, I felt allergic but not as bad as you did, I gave her a good bath and it seemed to go away, try that and some benadryl

First of all, ZEDHEAD your opener was completely unnecessary- she KNOWS where she bought the puppy. She is asking for HELP, not for a lecture or a kick in the head.

Second of all, OP, it is a good idea to have a new pup seen by a vet ASAP, to establish him as a patient and to have him thoroughly checked out.

Third of all, OP, my neice and her daughter are highly allergic to cats and dogs and neither of them has had any reaction whatever to Smokey and they are considering a Yorkie as their first family pet.

Lastly, I am just getting over a wicked flu and the beginning symptoms were a feeling like my chest was full of concrete and I was gasping for breath.

My advice is to deal with this problem one thing at a time and seek competent medical advice.

We are all supposed to be ladies and gentlemen here, so let's play NICE.:animal-pa

I would definitely agree with having the pup checked out by a vet for general purposes. There is no telling what your pup may have been bathed in or sprayed with prior to you bringing him home. Traditionally yorkies pose no allergy problems so I'm leaning towards something on him.

Give it a day or two to get used to all the new things that are happening to him and maybe give him a good sponge/towel bath. Don't want to overload the poor little one too badly, his little world is all turned upside down right now.

Can you try Claritin (sp) or some other otc allergy medicine for yourself until you can figure out what might be going on?

Good luck.

i agree, congrats on your new puppy.

CONGRATS on your new puppy and WELCOME TO YT!! They do sell shampoos to help keep down dander...maybe you could try that? Maybe your coming down with something? there is a lot of sickness going around right now....well where I live there is...I everything works out well for you

Hmm, I've read those exact words a few times here, reguarding pet store pups.

More times than not, the recomendation is to rule out the pup NOT carrying something into the house?

Thanks for that jab, Smokey!

Sure she KNOWS where she bought the pup. But where did the pup come from??

Good luck to the OP, I hope it is as simple as cleaning up the new family member.

A vet check for puppy and maybe a Drs visit for mom. The symptoms that you describe do not sound like an allergic reaction.
My DH has been sleeping in the den for a week because he needs to sit up some. The heavy chest is what he has been suffering from. No fever,no sore throat (except first thing in the morning,no sneezing or coughing. He is alot better now.

I'm an EMT, and let's talk about YOUR health. If your throat is closed you are obviously having an allergic reaction to something...to the Yorkie or something else. I hope you got the care you need since it's now after 9am and you posted at 2:30. Hopefully you carry an Epi-Pen or took some Benadryl or went to the Emergency room. Please don't leave us hanging. Let us know how you are.

My DH is very mildly allergic to dogs, very allergic to cats, hence our choice for a YT. However, the first week we had him at home, he did seem to bother my husband just a bit. I gave him a bath a few days after we had him, and my husband's reaction improved then disappeared. It's possible that the pup has dander from another animal, or flea powder or some other substance that is causing your reaction, but you should NOT be allergic, since yorkies have hair, not fur. Give the new baby a tub (being very careful to keep him warm during and after) and see if that helps. Good luck!

You dont Zedhead a lecture? It is funny how the ones that cry fowl do the very thing they accuse someone else of doing. Drama
