MY sick 2 month old Yorky "tea cup" Guys, i bought my puppy about a day ago. At first he was puking lets say about 7-8 times. Than he finally ate and drinks water. He was acting fine. But now he doesn't want to eat and is sleeping almost all the time. He is only 2 months and couple days old.. I dont know what to do the owner said that he probably is suffering from anxiety or depression i dont know..im worried i want the ppuppy to be good! |
Don't excite him too much. Let him get used to his surroundings. He probably upset about all the changes. Make sure you don't change what he has been eating from the breeder. Bring him into your vet to have him checked out - try to bring in a stool sample to be checked for any parasites/worms. Make sure you give him some NutriCal every day so he doesn't get hypoglycemic. This is something that the breeder should have given you - but if not, you can pick this up at any petstore. Good luck |
Yes take him to the vet. He probably has low blood sugar if he is puking that much. Very dangerous in puppies this age. I would make a appointment right away and make sure he is okay. Nutri cal is a great thing to have on hand also. |
Your baby is very young; like a tiny baby. He probably will need lots of rest. But a new puppy also needs a complete Vet check especially if he is ill or not eating. Please do not hesitate. At this age, he cannot afford to lose weight, become dehydrated, or hypoglycemic. Let us know. |
A Yorkie puppy puking 7 or 8 times is a medical emergency. Today or yesterday - whenever it happened - it's still an emergency. Besides the extreme risk of dehydration and hypoglycemia, there are other issues like parvo and distemper. Your puppy needs to see a vet immediately (right now). |
Your pup is about 8 wks old? I hope I did the math right 2 mo = 8 wks. I agree, you need a vet check ASAP. The repeated vomiting, lethargy - I would be afraid he was sick w something when I bought him. Plus he could dehydrate or be hypoglycemic very easily. |
Thank you for the support i am makin an appointmet as i type to you guys!!!.. thank you.. im new to having a puppy and im soo scared! |
Wishing you well at the vet. Let us know how the little one is. |

Make sure you tell the vet that he is sick! He does need to be seen today...not another one! |
I am glad you are taking him to the vet ASAP.... please keep up posted!! |
What does your puppy weigh? You called him a teaup, so I'm guessing it is small. "Teacup" doesn't help much since that is not an actual dog category. I would get him to the vet, especially if he is less than 2 pounds. |
I would take my 12 pounder to the vet if he were as sick as the OP says. |

For when you get back from the vet and after any treatment period: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...w-parents.html |
I'm at the vet as I type, he is a dehydration and he seems stressed from the move...he getting tested right now...so I'm waiting for more results . He weights 1 pound and 15 ounces....I will post pics later so u guys can see my lil man yoshi |
So glad you took him to the vet... dehydration is very serious and can be deadly. Also, anytime you're not sure of how he's doing, he should see the vet as he is so young. When you get home, find the number of an ER vet (24 hour) and keep it near your phone just in case. It will save precious time if you should ever need it. |

Will look forward to his pics. :) |
I'm so glad you got him to the vet for treatment. These little ones can go down so quickly, and it is sad when people don't take it seriously and just sit and wait to see if they get better. Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Looking forward to hearing more about your little guy when he is stable. |
i got back and the vet said all the blood work came out negative . Also the other test they did came out negative too.. so i dont know why he is acting like this. Is breaking my heart... sigh...guysss im sadd |
Has he stopped throwing up? Since the vet has ruled out some of the possible serious illnesses, you will just have to watch him now. It is possible that he is stressed out from the move, and he is still pretty young to be taken away from the mother. Puppies do sleep a lot. Just make sure he's eating and getting water. Keep us posted, ok? |

Did you get the vet records from the previous owner? It is possible he was just vaccinated. Look that up. Also if you don't have the records get them! Also look at the recommended vaccination protocol in the YT library |

Make sure he is getting fluids, you can put some karo syrup in his water. If he is not drinking on his own, you will need to syringe water to him every couple of hours. Your breeder should instruct you in how to care for him. |
Did the vet re hydrate him? Keep him for observation? I know that whenever my 2 dogs become ill my vet always wants to keep them for observation , at least 3 hours. My Suzi had the vomiting and diareah one time , so the vet checked and ran a parvo test, it was not parvo. He kept her for several hours too. Thankfully she got over it fairly quickly. But Suzi was not a tiny puppy either. Your puppy can easily go downhill fast. You have to really watch the water intake . I agree , with the poster who suggested getting the number to the ER vet , keeping it close to the phone. I hope your baby is ok and feels better. |
Glad you took him in.. Keep us posted. Did the vet give you ideas of what you should do? |
Praying your baby will be ok, he is very young and small. My 4 were at least 12 weeks old when I brought them home. |
Please keep us updated. I'm glad you are taking him to the vet. When I first brought Rylee Belle home she slept quite a bit also and every so often would throw up. I took her to the vet and she had a couple of "issues" but she was fine in a couple of days. I do think they get stressed when they are taken away from their mom. I remember how scared I was................I feel for you! I'm sure he will be okay, probably just adjusting! |
Try wet food, puppy plate by merrik is pretty good. I put puppy gold (a milk substitute) and wet food ... my little guy laps it up. I just got mine a couple days ago. |
Saying prayers for your little one; he is so young and tiny that he will need special care from you. I hope they can figure out what he causing his illness and lethargy. |
Well, i dont know what to say. he still wont eat. i have been giving him food every 2 hours. just few minutes ago he puked about 3 times, no color in his vomit just looked like a lot of saliva. i am to the point were i feel like giving up, this breaks my heart. I am debating whether to take him back to the place i bought him... He is my first puppy and this exp hasn't been fun at all!!!!! |
