1.09 lb yorkie at 12 weeks i bought a yorkie yesterday. I took her to the vet today for check up and she is only 1.09 lbs. at 12 weeks. I saw her 2 litter and they are a little bigger than her. The only reason why I got her because my daughter fell in love with her. I didn't see the parents though. Do you think 1.09 lbs for a 12 weeks old is too small or just ok? |
That is VERY small for a 12 week old pup. Make sure the pup is eating frequently and drinking water. A little nutrical never hurt anyone...it's also got lots of vitamins and nutrients in it. KEEP AN EYE ON HER. Once these little ones go down, it happens quickly. Would love to see picts of her. |

that is very small. At 12 weeks you double their weight to approximte their adult weight. |

very tiny for 12 weeks, she will probably be a 3 lb yorkie full grown. What did the vet say about her being so small? |

My little Izzie was 1 lbs 4 ozs at 12 weeks and she weighs 3 lbs. 11 ozs. now at 8 months old, she'll be 9 months old on Nov. 1st. She's a very healthy little girl. |

I dont think that is too bad. My yorkie was only 8 oz at 12 weeks (thats just half a pound) and she is almost 3 lbs now being full grown at 1 year 10 months. So I think if your girl is a pound she should at least be 3-4 pounds full grown which is small but not too bad. DEFINETLY be sure she eats every 3-4 hours for the first few months you have her or you can encounter some serious hypoglycemia problems. Trust me, I had 2 serious hypoglycemia attacks with chloe and it was absolutely heart wrenching and horrible. So to avoid going thru that just make sure she eats. Keep karosyrup on hand! My vet told me just to be sure chloe ate every 3-4 hours and thats what I did until she was 6 months old. I got up twice every night to make sure she ate. I also would put a little karosyrup in her water if I didnt feel she ate very much but you have to be careful not to give them too much sugar either. |
She will be small. Tia was 14 ounces when we got her at 13 weeks. She is just about 7 months and is a little less than 2.5 pounds. The advise I would give is make sure she is eating and drinking. I never had to use nutrical for Tia, I guess I was lucky, but I have never had a problem with her eating. Just keep your eye on her. Don't leave her unchecked for long periods. Watch your feet. I had one bad experience with that. Make sure shots are broken up, don't let a vet give her too many medications at one time. You mentioned your daughter fell in love with her? How old is your daughter? If she is young, I would suggest that she only pick up the pup under your supervision. These little guys can get squirmy and hard to hold for an adult. I don't let anyone under 14 pick up Tia. And last but not least try not to be overly worried. I have found that Tia is a pretty sturdy little thing who holds her own against her sister who is double her size. Best of luck and enjoy your new addition |
My little guy will be 12 weeks old tomorrow. He is 2 lb. 1 oz. I look at him and think of half the size for your little one -- very petite! But a small size seems to be highly prized. With all the good advice to keep her healthy you should have a great time with your little one. Looking forward to her pictures. |
i think she'll be fine. cash was 1.4lbs at 15 weeks. he's 2.1lbs now at 19 weeks. |
I don't think thats bad at all. That's what Stedman weighed at that age and he did JUST FINE! ;) Please do have some Nutrical on hand though, and I would recommend giving it before bed, and ANY time you have to leave your little one alone for a while. And heck, if you want to - give her some in the morning as well. It can't hurt 'em :) |

that's EXACTLY how much Tila weighed she's 5 lbs. now she was fine, just small I guess? she gained weight quickly, but I think it was becausee she was just GROWING not that she was malnourished |

My Latest Girl Was Very Similar! My Ava was only 1lb and like 5-6 ounces when I got her around 11 or 12 weeks (I pretty sure she was that old, maybe 13 weeks...) Either way, she's now right at 3 lbs at 8 months of age. We're hoping for 4 lbs and I'm quite confident that through maturity, maybe around 16 months she'll achieve that and even better closer to 5 (we're hoping!). Don't worry too much about the weight, seriously. If you're vet thinks she's proportionate, don't worry so much and just watch what and how much she eats and drinks and kinda make a mental note of it and what she does when out on her potty breaks. If you notice something a little abnormal, call your vet and ask, or an experienced Yorkie owner. jm2c |
My boy was pretty small... At 11 weeks he weighed in 1 1/2 lbs and now, at 5 months he's getting close to 4 lbs. He'll probably be around 5 or 6 fully grown. I'd say your baby will be 3.5-4 lbs - just a guess? The charts weren't very accurate with my Yorkie. |
TJ was 1.8 lbs. at 12 weeks. He stayed about 3.5 to 4 lbs, then after he turned 1 year old - THE LITTLE PIGGY EMERGED!!! Now he is approx. 6.5 lbs :rolleyes: |
Stormi was 1.4 at 14 weeks. That is when I finally brought him home. After about three days he developed hypoglycemia and for two weeks solid, I had to set the clock and feed him every three hours! NOW he is a major toot and rules my house of 8 babies at 3.3 lbs. Just keep a close eye, cause Stormi was great for about 2 1/2 days before he went down. |
My Coco bear was only 1 lbs even when she was 12 weeks and I thought she was TINY. Did keep nutrical on hand a lot..but she never had a hypoglycemic attack or anything. She's a healthy 4 lbs 12 oz at 1.5 years. |
Doesn't seem that small My little guy was 1.4 at 16 weeks. He's 1 1/2 years old now and weighs 5 lbs. |
My little Bella was 1.6 lbs at 13 weeks and is now around 4 to 4 and a half lbs on a chubby day lol. Louie was 2 lbs at 16wks and is now around 5 lbs. so I think she will be fine. I would LOVE to see pics!:p |

Do you have a photo shop in your computer like PictureIt or something like that? If so just go there and resize your pictures and save them to a folder, I save mine at 600 by 450 and the size is fine for YT. Once you have them resized you open the thread you want to put them in, scroll down to the area for additional options (under the reply box) and click on manage attachments. Once you do that just type in the name of the folder, hit the browse button and find the name of your picture then click on it, click on the download button and you're all set. Quote:
