| Please tell me you mean 4 months. Four weeks is way to young and he should very much still be with his mom and siblings. Also in most states its against the law to sell puppies before 6 weeks so please please report who sold your husband this dog. Does he even have teeth?

| Hi and welcome to Yorkie Talk. I have no advice because I didn`t even see my pup until she was 5 weeks old. I know it`s early but I brought mine home at 9 weeks. Just be careful and make sure she eats often. Give her some nutrical between meals to keep her blood sugar up. I think that is the most important thing right now. |

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | EEEEKKK! Please please tell us you meant 4 Months, not 4 weeks. This baby should still be with his momma and siblings until at least 12 weeks old. He's way too young to be away from momma. Please take him back to the breeder...sorry I know not what you wanted to hear, but they do best when left with their momma until at least that age. How much does he weigh? Sorry for the rant...welcome to YT.

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I am not going to say anymore about the age issue, other have already covered that.

| Welcome to YT. What is your baby's name? We love to see pictures. I didn't even realize how important food was until recently, I thought they were all at least healthy but they aren't. if you google 'what is the best food for yorkie puppy' results from this website will come up. after reading those, I only found Sick Vann Pattern Natural Balance in my area. I hope you come back and post, your baby is really very young to leave its mom and because the people on YT are all here for the love of yorkies, they will be concerned. But this is the place you want to be because you will get help on so many things and everyone only wants the absolute best for every single yorkie. I hope you come back.

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | Hi again, as you have seen from earlier postings, even 7wks is too young to be away from mom and siblings. Please read up on hypoglycemia as these young ones can go downhill very quickly. Keep some Nutical as well as Karo Syrup on hand in case of an emergency. What's your babies name? We love pictures here.
