Need Yorkie Owners Advice 1 Attachment(s) Hello everyone I have got a shih tzu puppy and looking forward to adopt a Yorkie to be his play mate. I have seen a puppy last night and fighting to decide. So please take time to advice me. The Yorkie pup is 3 months old. He looks fine in the first glance, but when I observed him, I found out that his hind legs are bent and his back is a little droopy. He is moving like a rabbit. I mean.......lifting his back legs at a time and moving forward based on his front legs. Is this common or does he have a problem ? I am attaching his pics, just to have a additional feedback. Thanks in advance |
Welcome To Yt! What did the breeders says? That does not sound normal to me. Be Cautious. |
Has there vet cleared him as healthy? If you are in love make sure there is a 72 hr gaurentee from the breeder that way when you bring him home take him to the vet the very next day and voice your concerns let your vet check him out and if its normal great and if not take the puppy back with a letter from your vet for a refund! I had a yorkie a few years back and as a puppy he looked fine but as he got older I noticed he had a hunch back, I took him to my vet and found out that he had a cerviture of his spine, he was fine in every other way he just looked a littlr hunched LOL. I would just make sure to get the 72 hr gaurentee in writting and make sure they put on there you will get a full refund if there is a problem with the puppy! Good luck! |
Does not sound good. I think there is a thread on here about luxatting patellas. Maybe you should read before making up your mind. The pup is cute but you don't want to have problems later on. JMO |
Sounds like you will have a BIG vet bill, but the sad thing is this baby needs a home and lots of love, if you are able and financially capable of providing the care he needs, go for it. But I would talk to the breeder and other people who have bought off this breeder as well. Good luck! |
:wavey: Welcome to YT!!!! He sure is cute! I would ask a Vet. Maybe one of our Breeders will log on and help answer for you. If you do get him, (he's so cute) make sure you get a health gaurentee in writting. Good luck & please keep us posted |
