BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | Is she over weight? I have had Baby for almost a week now and I notice when ever she starts to play or get active, she starts huffing and acting like she is out of breath. She wont even play for 1 solid minute and she starts making the sounds. I'm not actually sure how much she weighs yet, but she is very solid. I can tell you she is 16" round, 10" neck and about 11" long lol I'm also not sure if she came from a home with smokers, but I thought maybe that might have something to do with it? I will be taking her to the vet soon just to get her a check up, but I thought I would ask if anyone else has this problem with the more bigger yorkies? |

| Baby How old is she? You are going to the vet, so they will check for heartworms and any problems..but remember Yorkies naturally have a bit larger heart then other toys...that comes from two heart specialist. |
