lol!!! i cant stand auto correct. Nutrical and Karo syrup I believe you can get either from the pharmacy or heath food store. Someone here with more experience will point you in the right direction if I am wrong. I believe they are a kind of sugar suppliment that you can give a young pup in the event that they become hypoglycemic, as their blood sugar can drop in an instant. Make sure Snappy is eating at least 4 times per day and drinking lots of water.
There is someone at home with him that can keep an eye on him? He is so very young and a tiny one as well. Is there any way you can take him back to the breeder for 5 more weeks? Idealy a good breeder will not let their babies go until 12 weeks or later if they are really small.
My baby is now 8wks and 2lbs...she is still with her momma and two brothers.

Lol yes auto correct is very annoying at times. Well my husband got him from a coworker in New York n I'm in Virginia. I don't believe she is a breeder because wen my husband bought Snappy she also sold a premature pup to another coworker around the same age as Snappy she didn't even give him his shots. I am at home with him because I am currently out of work should I be worried??

From what i have learned from this site and my breeder, yorkies do much better if left with momma until at least 12wks old.
Just keep a real close eye on him, its good you are home with him...not good to leave them alone for any amount of time when they are that young.
I'm not sure what the vaccination protocol is, but give all shots separately as they can have a reaction to giving too many at one time.
Has he been to the vet yet? If not try and find a vet that has experience with small breeds.
My Jersey is being taken to the vet this week for her first shots. so i think first shots are at 8wks. How much does Snappy weigh now?
Jersey is 2lbs.

No he has not been to the vet yet I will look into one for small breeds. I'm not sure how much he weighs she didn't give my husband much info on the dog which is why I joined a community like this for the help n support. Aww jersey that is a cute name. I will look into the vaccination protocols more.

Just wanted to welcome you to YT! Congrats on your new addition!

[nanahas3]

First welcome to YT. Second be prepared for anything. My sis-in-law got her puppy at almost 8 weeks and it ended up with me to pull it through. I am not a breeder, don't want to be, never will be, but I have yorkies so I was elected. I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights I sat up with this little girl. Grinding kibble in a coffee grinder, mixing it with water and baby food, forcing it down her with a syringe, and the same with water. She went through bout after bout of very loose stools etc. She came home with coccidia and it was very touch and go for almost 3 weeks. I hope things go much better for you and your little one just be prepared for anything and have the vet on speed dial. They are a joy to be owned by.

7 weeks is still way to young and should be with his mom. It is very important that you not leave this pup alone for any more then an hour or two because he could get hypoglycemia when your gone and sense you are not there to help him it could kill him. Don't over handle him to much and make sure he stays warm. You really need to do a lot of research on hypoglycemia so you know the symptoms and what to do when he shows them. Also I would suggest not talking him outside at all.

Anyone who breeds there dog is a breeder and it is up them how good or bad of a breeder they are.

He needs to go to the vet ASAP even if you are buying a dog from the best breeder ever they need to be checked out by your vet with in a day or two of getting them.

Try and get him to a vet asap.

Jersey makes number three. Raelle and Orion are 17mths and 14mths.
Jersey was picked because of her coloring, she is a Biewer and is mostly black and white, with some gold. There is a thread here that i posted called 'Jersey'
