I want to thank each and every one of you who responded to my post. Every little thing helps and it is nice to know that others care. :) I have had this little guy since 04/20/11. (17days) He is 13wks today. He has been eating ok for the past 10 days. He reached 1# 10oz on May 3rd, but dropped back down to 1# 9.8oz today. I try to get him to eat his dry puppy food which is a mix of Eukanuba small breed puppy & Royal Canin Yorkshire 29 Puppy every 3 or 4 hours. If he doesn't eat at least a little, then I offer wet Cesar puppy which he eats everytime. I have offered him the yolk from a boiled egg when he wasn't eating around Easter and he liked it and ate some. I gave him boiled chicken about an hour ago just because we were having chicken tonight and he loved it and gobbled it up. He seemed to get a boost of energy about half hour after and played with all his todays. SO CUTE!!! I even let him out to get fresh air and run in the grass a bit. He really enjoyed that but was tuckered out quick. I didn't realize that Eukanuba was crappy food as I am only able to get it at our vet or petco and 2 feed stores here. I thought crappy food was at places like walmart and so on. What is a good food for a Yorkie??? Is Royal Canin good? Yes, my vet did mention an x-ray when he had his episode on the third day that I had him, however, he thought we should wait to see if anything else accured before doing one as by the time I brought him in, he was totally fine. I will take this advice and get this done and check for Chiarie or AAI and check for Liver Fluck (not sure how to spell).. Does anyone know what would cause shedding? He has been losing his coat since I got him and he is getting thin. I might have a bald yorkie on my hands before long. YIKES!!! He goes back in for vaccinations May 16th or 17th and Vet will do further testing. Just trying to gather info before Wiley's next visit. If there is anything else VERY important I should know about yorkies... please let me know. I am trying my best and I have read lots about them, but seems like others have more and more info that I have not read about and is very knowledgeable. Thanks again... Tammy:hearts6: |
How sad this breeder sent you a sick puppy. I hope all works out for you and your little furbaby gets better. I think she should pay for your vet bills considering what you are going through. |
Not sure about the hair loss but yorkies don't shed so this should deff be looked into. It may have been from being malnourished , is he still loosing hair ? Does he itch & scratch allot ? Good to hear he's doing better though. |
I'm just seeing this, and am glad to hear your baby is doing better. So you got him from Smiths Country Biewers and Yorkies in GA? I wanted their kennel name in this thread in case anyone is doing their breeder research and will see what happened to you. You are not alone, it seems like we have read about a lot of puppies that arrive in their new home sick. It is such a shame that this happens so often. |
Im so sorry for your problems with your new baby, I hope things are better soon |
good food, lots of lovin are the biggest, no rabies shots at the same time as their other shots, to much for the little ones, keep the nutrical on hand, feed several times a day and other things you will learn along the way. They sometimes get the enviromental allergies like my little guy, they have sensitive tummys and nothing with ham too fatty they are prone to pancreatitis, enjoy they leave pawprints on your heart in a big hurry |
I'm am seriously praying for your puppy. Please don't send him back to the breeder. Your new furbaby needs you. I would try to go after the breeder for a refund without the return of the puppy. Meanwhile, listen to your vet and to your heart. Give him lots of kisses for me. Keep up posted with updates. |

Have you tried wetting the dry food a bit to soften it for him? And then mix it with the Cesar's? I would not vaccinate this puppy until he's 100%. What you described may have been a seizure, and at least an xray should be done asap. Vaccines are very strong and only healthy puppies should receive them. In the meantime, keep him in your arms when not at home. Also, he should weigh at least 2# to get vaccines. Is your vet experienced with Yorkies or, at least small dogs? As he has problems, it would be best to get him on a minimum vaccine schedule (see Dr Dodds Vaccine Protocol). Also, wait to see the records from the breeder (if she's still sending them). Here's a link: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/die...-overview.html Please read and learn about vaccines before you take him back in to the vet. There are other links in the Library, one is to Dr Dodds Vaccine Protocol, and some for general puppy care, etc. I'll keep your puppy in my prayers.... |
I would also be wary of vaccinations unless he is feeling well. They tax the immune system. Also, my vet likes to separate the vaccines and give one at a time in a tiny dog. |
Little Wiley seems to be doing fine and playing and happy as ever. I haven't seen him this happy since we got him so this might be a good sign, but his cough still worries me. The children's benedryl seems to help a bit, but not like I hoped. He seems to have a runny nose when he gets his cough and sounds congested. The vet said it was sinus/allergies... but I wonder if it is more. He weighs 1# 11.2oz today...WOW.. must have been the chicken & tuna I fed him yesterday. He is eating Eukanuba small breed puppy and Royal Canin Yorkshire Terrier 29 puppy but I am hearing that these food are garbage. What is a good food for him then??? I just thought since I couldn't purchase them from a walmart or any store... that they were better, but I guess the corn isn't good. I have heard Orijen is good and I would need to order online because no one sells it near me. He gets his first vaccinations next week now that the vet thinks he is better. He will be 14wks then and I can't even go off of when the breeder said she gave the shots because she hasn't sent them yet and how do know if she even really gave them. :mad: really upsets me that some people could care less about a puppies life as long as they see $$$. He is still losing his hair and getting thin. I posted 3 photos of him on my profile if anyone wants to see. I love this site. There are so many nice people and lots of information. I just need to add some friends and I still am having a hard time getting around the site and knowing where everything is and where to post and so on. Tammy |
I had a peek at the pics - he is a cutie! Glad to hear he seems to be feeling a little better. Hope he continues to make a full recovery from all he's been through. He seems like a little fighter and it also seems like he found a wonderful human to help him - lucky boy! |
