Are tiny yorkie pups okay? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

madfire62 · 10-24-2007, 03:58 PM

We got our Yorkie at 4 months also. She is now 5 months. I dont remember her looking that small, but she weighed 1.5 lbs at 4 months too. I just took her back to the vet Sat. and she now weighs 3.2 lbs, so she isnt going to stay as small aswe thought. Thats ok though.

Abby is 1.6 oz and she is 4 months. And she is super small too, but for some reason she likes to play rough with everything and everybody. She thinks she is boss... she is, LOL!

I have a pack-n-play (playpen) that has come in so handy. I don't let Maggie have the run of the house either. She's corralled in one room at a time for her own safety. And yes, Nutracal is a must !! She is sooooo flippin cute !!!!! Maggie was 1.2 at 10 weeks, she's at 1 13oz now at almost 23 weeks so no more than 2 -2 1/2 for your little one.(maybe) They do require extra attention I think because of their size and they have no clue that their as tiny as they are either. You should hear Maggie growl and bark at the UPS man !! lol here's Mags at 8, 10 & 12 wks old and now. Congratulations on your tiny lil furbaby. She will steal your heart and bring you so much joy

aww she is just precious! Your very lucky to have such a pretty baby!

mizzwanned · 10-24-2007, 04:29 PM

She is really small. My London was like that weight at 4-5 months. So i think yours will stay really small. You have to m ake sure she eats and gets plenty of water and get nutrical. Just always keep an eye on her. Sometimes the little ones can have more accidents, like you might step on them, they can fall and get really hurt so be careful.

She's adorable! My little Kamari will be a year the end of Novemeber and she was just weighed in at 3 lbs. I make sure I kept Nutrical for her and Kodak and he's 4 1/2 lbs now. I have her wear a bell on all her collars, I bought them in the cat section but I have to know when she's coming up behind me.

missPenny · 10-24-2007, 07:20 PM

I agree... put a bell on your little one. That's the first thing we did with Riley as she was that size when we brought her home. Even at 3 lbs and 1 year old now, she's still awfully tiny... and so quick underfoot! I rely on her multiple tags jingling to let me know where she is.

NewYorkieMom52 · 10-24-2007, 10:28 PM

I put bells on Georgia as well...and bought some very cute hello kitty bells on Ebay....they are sooooo cute!

Mayas Mommy · 10-25-2007, 12:37 AM

Hi there and

on your Baby

I have a tiny one too ( not by choice) ... she was the last Girl and the smallest one out of the litter. She is almost 8 months and weights a little over 2.5 lbs.

BUT SHE SHURE IS A CUTIE !!!!

Wow she is adorable

The bell is an excellent suggestion. Make sure you watch her when ever she's off the ground dog like to jump and these guys don't realize they are tiny.

I got Tiffy at 6 months when she was about 2.1 pounds and now at 1 year old she is about 2 and a half. Best advise is to be sooooo careful with her wherever you go and make sure she does not fall because a tiny little limb is so much easier to fracture.. You have to make sure she eats and make sure she gets her Nutrical on a regular basis to avoid the hypoglycemia.

She is beautiful, congrats!!

RMKC · 10-25-2007, 02:15 PM

What a tiny cutie she is, congrats

And welcome to YT

Yorkiekids · 10-25-2007, 02:49 PM

Twinkle is adorable. I like the bell idea, so you know where she is at all times.

PrincessTinker · 10-25-2007, 03:19 PM

Awww she is so cute

I have tennies to and I have bells on them at all times! I just do what is called the shuffle walk...LOL you will learn that soon

BelwoBelwo · 10-25-2007, 03:24 PM

Bella was the runt of the litter. When I first got her, she was less than a pound at 3 months. At 6 months, she was 2 pounds. The vet told me she'll be a very small dog ( under 5 pounds). I really wanted a yorkie under 3 pounds and thought for sure she was going to stay small. Well, she's full grown now at 6 pounds.I'm just happy she's a very healthy dog. =)
