Bad Breeder
 

That breeder should be prosecuted!

More importantly, the Yorkie baby needs constant care. I once had a female Beagle who was unable to nurse her two-week olds. Friends pitched in and the pups had round-the-clock care. I seem to remember that there is Orphaned Puppy Milk and Food. We had to feed every 2- 4 hrs.

Be sure to cuddle it, spending as much as possible being the adoptive mother.

Good luck! We're all pulling for the pup and you.

Horrible Story.....
 

What a wonderful day it is when you pick up
your new puppy and bring it home. Only by a responsible breeder that won't make $390 and selling a such a small baby...SHE IS EVIL.
This cute
little ball of fur is finally all yours to keep and
be responsible for, the rest of it's life. Oh how
wonderful it is.
I sincerely hope your puppy is at least
3 months old. Yorkies are too young to
leave home until that age. Between birth
and 3 months is when most health problems
will show up in Yorkies.
.
If you have a responsible breeder that you
bought your puppy from, she or he will be in
your lives for a long time. They will teach you
everything you need to know on shots, health,
feeding, signs to watch out for, bedding, toys
(good and bad), bowel movements, hypo-
glycemia, etc. etc. etc... You will also have
their phone number and will be able to
call them day or night if you have a problem.
.
BUT.... Maybe you didn't buy your puppy
from a good breeder.
The first thing you should do.... is to make an appointment with your Vet. .
It is too easy to become attached to a pup and
if there is something wrong with it, it will be a
lot easier on you, if you have to take it back.
If you absolutely can't, than make one as soon
as possible.

Better yet, ask the breeder if the puppy has
been taken to a Vet for a checkup, the date,
and the Vet's name The most important thing to know about in
raising puppies or acquiring a new puppy is
"Hypoglycemia".
New puppies should not be taken out with
you and shown off to all your friends for at
least a week or two. He needs to get to know
and trust his new Mommy or Daddy and not
be upset by strangers wanting to hold or play
with him.
.
When a puppy gets nervous or upset his
sugar level drops drastically, and can cause
the puppy to go into shock (they fall over and
become rigid). It can also cause death in
extreme cases.

Hypoglycemia can also occur when a puppy
is badly frightened, is hurt in some way, or is
not eating enough.
.
The best way to tell a puppy's sugar level is
by his gums. If the gums are nice and pink,
he is fine. If the gums are white, his sugar
level has dropped.
.
You should check your puppy's gums often
the first week he is in his new home. What to do if his sugar drops? Give him sugar. Karo syrup is my constant
companion Also "Nutra Cal" (comes in a tube and can be
gotten from your Vet.) is a food supplement
that is very rich. You just put a little on your
finger and the puppy will usually lick it off. If
he doesn't, just open his mouth and put some
behind his front teeth. This will also help
bring his sugar up. I give both. First the Karo
then the Nutra Cal.
.
Karo is also excellent for getting a new born
puppy to start nursing. Mix a little with
warm water and let the puppy suck it off
your (clean) finger or put some in a dropper
and give just a drop or two.
.
You should get a record of your puppy's
shots. They don't leave
their mom till they're 3 months old though.
.

I don't know if anyone said this, so excuse me if it's a repeat. It's also SUPER important that the puppy is kept warm, either against your body, or with a heating pad (with towels or blankets on it so it doesn't get TOO hot).

Whoever sold the pup so SO going to H#ll:mad:

Oh My Goddd
 

You Have To Take Him Back!!!
Hes Not Able To Survive On His Own At This Age
Hes Wayyyyy To Young To Be Seperated From His Mother.
Take Him Back And Then At 8/9 Weeks He Should Be Good To Go Home With You.

You're Going To Lose The Baby
Pleaseeeeeeeeee I'm Begging You Take Him Back

Pleasssssssssssssssseeeeeeeee!!!

Wow, how totaly WRONG to Sell and or Buy a Puppy at only 4 weeks of age?? I really hope that you are doing ALL that you can for this POOR little Pup, that should by ALL means STILL be with it's Mother?? Take in All the Good Advice that you are getting from these people on YT. Please let us know how every thing turns out for this poor Puppy.

Wow, that is just too young to be selling a puppy! Why would she sell it so young?I can't think of a good reason to sell at this age at ll! I hope that you took this pup to a vet and have them check it over! How is your day like, Is someone able to be with the puppy 24/7 to get the care it will need at this stage? Please keep us posted on this little on, I hope all goes well for it! Good luck!

Im confused here. so You got a 4 week old puppy and in the thread listed above your roommate got a puppy born Aug 8 and you are both useing the same username? so your is 4 weeks and theirs is what 6 weeks. why would you both ask these breeders to let you both take these babys from their mommys at such a young age? and who are the breeders you are getting these babys from?:thumbdown

I think I'm getting unconfused....the link I posted was the OP on this thread's...puppy...that's the one who is about 7 weeks old. The 4 week old puppy belongs to his friend.


Btw, while I do not agree with someone selling a 4 week old puppy....this poster isn't in the US and many other countries do, indeed, routinely sell their puppies at 6 weeks old. Culturally the buyer wouldn't know you shouldn't take a pup away that soon. And I am speaking specifically about the 6/7 week old puppy.

To Clear the confusion...My dog is born on Aug. 8 and my Roommate is Aug. 23 of 2007.

Here is the pic of mine and his Yorkie. Im waitin for him to get back home to post an update on his dog..

Thanks

They are adorable!!! I will be praying that everything works out well since they are so young to be seperated from their Mommy's.
There is a lot of VERY experienced breeders on YT that can give you some great advise. I suggest you take advantage of all their wisdom regarding pups as young as yours.
Best of luck to you and your room mate.

I got that figured out...lol. They're cute. Personally the smallest one should be returned to the breeder and your room mate pick him up at a later date. That baby isn't even old enough to be weaned from his mother.

I see you added Mississippi to your location...so not Oxford England then.

Are these puppies registered?

wow ...this is insane..couldn't your roomate put down some deposit and let the breeder keep the baby til like 12 weeks or so? it is just sooo wrong to buy or sell the puppy at 4 weeks..my baby is our first yorkie baby and we did research for 6 months before we bought her..we made sure that she was at least 12 weeks before we got her. it amazes me that people think it is okay to sell at 4 weeks..and why did the breeder sell it for so cheap? there has to be a motive behind. and please dont feed the baby cesar's dog food..it is such a low quality food. the puppy has been through enough and giving him the best care/food is the least you can do..sigh..

If you look at the pictures in the Nursery Threads, This 4 week old puppy looks to be a bit older than 4 weeks. He/She still needs to be with his/her mom. It's too young, I'd take him/her back.

May God Bless This Puppy
:hands:

Me and my RoomMate has yet too register the dogs. But both of their parents are registered and are purebreds...:D I just have to fill out the application and turn it in...:D BTW since no one likes Cesar's puppy meat food. What Brand should I get?

Thanks,
Anthony

Why in the world would you let your friend buy a 4 week old puppy?? Dont you or her have enough common sense to just put a deposit on the dog and pick it up when its weaned?
