Welcome to YT and congrats on Olive. I think it is fantastic that you have found this site and are learning so much. I wish I knew about YT when I took home my 7 1/2 week old pup 4 years ago. (I was very lucky and he is healthy) It sounds like you are doing the right things and folks are giving great advice, so all I will add is welcome, and maybe you should turn your breeder onto this site so she can also reap the benefits of the yorkie lovers here. You make it sound like she is willing to learn and I can't think of a better place to get started.:D

Your description of little Olive is so sweet. I'm so glad that she's doing so well! And yes, in moderation liver is very good for them. Too much at one time can cause soft poo though. I discovered that the hard way. :p Good luck with your little baby! I hope all goes well with the vet.

Welcome !
 

Congrats on your new little one

What a doll ! Good luck and welcome !

What a beautiful baby!! welcome to YT! :)

Thanks everyone!

Just an update, Olive has been doing really good! She just turned 6 weeks today! Yay!
She's such a happy puppy and she loves to nap and play.
I find it funny that she's only 6 weeks and is already such a picky eater! I'm giving her soft kibble with warm water, since it softens it, and she just smells it, eats just a bit and then just goes off to play or sleep. When I give her a bit of liver smashed up with potatoes and the juice from that, she gobbles it up and begs for more.
I'm kinda just thinking of giving her that, since that's what she likes and will eat. Are there any other ideas you all know of?
Oh! and here are some photos I've taken of her playing and sleeping again! :D

I would mix the liver with ground up kibble. She really needs the nutrition at her young age. She is adorable.

Welcome to yt. Olive is a sweetie and I LOVE her name :)

Be sure she eats and drinks. I know you must have read about hypoglycemia here already and it is not anything to mess with, my 2nd little girl was much, much smaller than my first is, and her blood sugar could crash just from romping around for 10 minutes. Keep her warm, mixing water with her kibble is good bc it increases her hydration as well. You can also give her pedialyte in place of water (get it in the baby section of walmart)

Be sure to check her gum color throughout the day. You do not want them to be pale or grey. If they are, give nutrical and give her syringes of water if she isn't drinking. Watch her closely...at this age she shouldn't be left alone without being checked on. Even a few hours is too long to be left alone.

She is biting bc the mother teaches bite inhibition at her age, which is why 12 weeks at least is suggested. Don't encourage her to chew on your fingers even though it is pretty cute. You can braid strips of fleece and knot the ends, they love to chew on that and it'll feel good on her teeth and gums. Always discourage biting by saying "no bite", removing your hands and redirecting her mouth to a toy instead.

I agree. She's so young right now & growing up so quickly that she really needs the proper puppy nutrients. I know that Royal Canin canned puppy food has chicken liver in first 5 ingredients. She might like that.

She's adorable!!

Hi and welcome to YT. Your baby is adorable. Have you been able to find a vet who is familiar with smaller dogs? I would definitely seek one out as your baby is very young. It wouldn't hurt to get a headstart on her nutrition and early wellness care. Good luck and hopefully you will be able to find a lot of information on diet and care on here in the various forums.
