New member as of today!! Need help Hello! I have a yorkie maltese mix who is now 17 weeks old and is a little over 6lbs !! i think he is too big do you think we are feeding him too much? how big do you think he will get! ???:eek::eek::animal-pa |
almost forgot!!! Oops forgot to say hi! and glad to be a member here! thanks for letting be a part of this ! its greaT!!!:D:D |
Hes just going to be larger. My yorkie is 14 pounds and its not uncommon |
question Also he started to eat his own feces!! Does this mean we arent feeding him enough? We feed him 1/4 cup in the morning and 1/4 cup at night...we feed him wellness dry food for puppy |
Hi and welcome to YT. It just sounds like he'll be on the bigger side. Maybe about 10lbs. full grown? That is still little to me. :) |
Sounds like Scrappy will be a little bigger, but he will still be a small dog... Welcome to YorkieTalk! |
Thank you for the warm welcomes!!! i do not have children of my own so my lil puppy is my baby!! |
your baby will most probably be able to join the teapot club:) http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...apot-club.html Welcome to yt |
Hello and welcome, yes you will just have more to love...oh and it is common for them to eat their own poo or other kinds of poo. |

you could try going up to 3/4 cup he is pretty young so he will burn it off pretty quick |
Does the Vet think he is overweight? I had a maltese years ago (my first baby) and he was on the larger side - about 12 lbs. He still seemed small compared to most dogs. He was the best dog ever! Feces eating seems to be a very common puppy thing. Lucy finally grew out of it. |

Welcome to YT! I do not have any advice as our girl is a 5 pounder, but even 10 pounds is small to me. I see these huge 100+ pound dogs (which I love too) at the dog park and it makes me realize how little even a teapot Yorkie is! :) |
Dog Food Calculator Try that to figure out how much to feed him but puppies arnt really fat but if you are worried ask your vet. My yorkie is 16 pounds. |
My yorkie is 10 Lbs and she looks small to me, we have a shih tzu who is also 10 pounds but she looks heavier, with all that hair. As long as your vet is not concerned with your baby's weight then it should be fine. |
