Lunasmomma, we had the same problem with Marcus when we brought him home. He wouldn't eat and got very sick. It has been an uphill battle with our little guy and now it all makes since. We almost lost him in the beginning, but he has recovered leaps and bounds. I agree with everyone on here that I am trying not to feel too bad because of the great home he has come into. We love our yorkies as children and spend all of our free time just loving, pampering, playing with, and taking care of our furbabies. We got our oldest, Bruiser, from a great breeder in KY while we lived there. Now that we have personally seen how ill a pet store puppy can be, we won't ever go down that route again. I'm glad we "saved" Marcus and he has become one of the lights of our lives. I'm just sorry we fell into the trap knowing how bad puppymills are, but honestly believing that they didn't use puppymills. People will lie about anything to make a buck, it's truly sad.
