| 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

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | 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. |

| I'm glad you're taking him in. Please let us know what the vet says, and how your little one is doing.

| 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.
