Oh...she is just darling and looks so terrified. Take her and show all the love that this little one so deserves. My girl is 4.5 lbs, she is a good size and healthy. God willing she will remain that way, but none of us know, do we. I take every minute I have with Zhoie and cherish it!

So sorry, for the loss of your little Precious...she was very beautiful.

Welcome, Tena & Zhoie

Over this past weekend her cough got wetter and she was admitted to the animal hospital on 9/13 because it had gotten so bad. Despite iv antibiotics and fluids overnight her pneumonia got worse and she stopped breathing while my wife and I were visiting her. Based on the doctors advice at that time we elected to have her quickly euthanized.

A necropsy revealed what the Dr. called very diseased lungs, biposies are pending, hopefully they will give us an idea of what the cause was.

Katie was only with us for 3 years and 4 months, but she loved us for every single minute of that time and brough great joy to our lives.

RIP Ms. Katie

we love you

RIP sweet Katie, such a heart warming story. Big Hugs for everything you have done for Katie.

I am so so sorry for your loss of Katie but I am so glad she was able to have you and your wife as such wonderful, responsible parents. I just read though this thread and didn't know how old it was, read your posts, loving your updates and then saw that Little Katie passed on the 14th. I cried

She was blessed to have you and your wife and it seemed like she had a wonderful life. Thank you for being such caring, amazing parents and loving Katie and giving her a second chance- God bless you for that- I'm sure she and Precious are at the Rainbow Bridge together. You and your family, including your other furbaby are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

I have a tiny, tiny, Yorkie. She weighed 1.6 at the vet! I will have had her one week tomorrow. The breeder said she should get to 6 pounds. I cannot get her to eat a thing. The vet put her on nutrical and syringe feeding, but she will not eat anything on her own. Is there hope for this little girl?

Welcome to YT!!!! You should post this question in the health section- this is someone else's post- you will get answers there

Start a new thread at the top of the section and I'm sure you will get a lot of answers

She is cute! If no one claims her, get her

and I wish you the best with her!

I am so glad you gave Katie a very happy three years. It's always hard taking in an older pup, but I'm sure she showed her appreciation for your kindness in many ways. Take care and know that for all of us that love these little Yorkies, we appreciate everything you did for Katie!

OMG she looks exactly like my little Jean. She is also 3 Lbrs and 15 months old. She has no health issues but we are always careful not to step on her as she loves to run around our feet.
You should get her as soon as possible. The shelter is no place for her. By the way I forgot to mention that you should also be careful of the temperature. So little Yorkies are getting cold much easier than bigger ones.
I hope in a couple of days you will post a picture of her in your home
