My Friends First Yorkie at 4 weeks. Need Advice. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkiekids · 09-26-2007, 12:55 PM

I would definetly call the vet and ask him what to do. That baby is way to young to be away from his mom.

Is this another puppy than the one in this thread...because there you say he was born on August 8th.

It's not fair. These breeders are plain cruel.

I will be praying for both of these 2 puppies. I hope you take all this advice seriously. Both of these pups are at a very critical stage. It won't always be as serious as it is right now, but the 4 week old, boy oh boy, that's not right...

I believe she said it was her friend's yorkie that is 4 weeks old. Why does your friend have a 4 week old puppy? And why are you the one taking care of it and not her?

First of all, Ceasar is a very low quality food. Please don't feed that to the puppy. You'll most likely end up upsetting it's tummy. I would consult a vet. I would also continue with puppy formula only until you see teeth coming in. Then you can try a premium canned food (PREMIUM being the key word there).

Oh MY GOODness I hope this pup survives. That is absord.

Jeri Cunningham · 09-26-2007, 01:42 PM

It isn't just for the food they need to be kept with their mothers. The mom will socialize the puppy and help it learn to be a dog! I think it is against the law in most states to sell before 6 weeks and some states it is 10 weeks.

I can't imagine selling a puppy before 8 weeks, 10 is better, 12 is the best!

This breeder does need to be reported.

mizzwanned · 09-26-2007, 01:47 PM

That is very very young. That baby needs it's mother

YorkieShadow · 09-26-2007, 01:56 PM

I know Mickeys breeder weans her puppys with Ceasar food and they are all healthy, But once they start eating better you need to get them a better food. also you will need to take a wet warm cloth and wipe their bottoms to help them go potty if their not going on their own.

Susan123 · 09-26-2007, 02:03 PM

Please do not neglect going to the vet. Puppies aren't weaned at this age. He needs to be under the supervision of a vet in this dire situation.

FL Tink · 09-26-2007, 02:06 PM

How very sad.. I sit here and wonder the reasons why someone would sell a pup at 4wks. So many things run thru my head... like were you sold a stolen pup? hmmmm

littlewhip · 09-26-2007, 02:34 PM

Wow how did your friend get a baby so young? what kind of breeder does that? Is there anyway this baby can go back to the mama untill older? you said the breeder hesitated to sell so young, please have her see a vet asap.

MorkieAZ · 09-26-2007, 02:44 PM

Anthony...
You say the breeder hesitated to sell you the puppy, can you elaborate?
