| 10 week old puppy fine one day, all sleepy the next Hi, I'm new to this forum and also a new Yorkie owner. I have a little 10 week old boy, he is so adorable but I'm not sure if his behaviour is normal as one day he will be FULL of energy and the next day he is all lethargic and sometimes pukes randomly. It literally goes in a cycle, one day fine, next day not, next day fine, etc. He occasionally coughs too. I wondered if maybe he just exhausts himself from his non stop playing one day and then needs the next day to recoup. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! |

| That sounds abnormal to me. I would see a vet.

| Has the puppy been fully vetted? Bortadella etc? Dewormed? There are so many factors that could be at play. He is only 10 weeks old but the bigger question is how much does he weight? Do you have nutracal on hand? etc., I would go to the vet regardless, this is NOT normal behavior. Welcome to YT glad you found us and PLEASE keep us posted!

| There is a great new site Home | Vetrounds where you can ask a vet your question. Maybe you could ask for some info there. We have a thread about this service. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ml#post4432417

| Is it dry coughing? Maybe he has Kennel Cough, but the random puking is indeed something that would worry me. Kennel Cough's symptoms are usually just dry coughing, a runny nose, sneezing and sometimes lethargy. |

| Be sure they check for liver shunt & MVD.

| Well the vet couldn't find anything wrong with him and said that it's perhaps a reaction to his vaccine. He weighs a healthy 1.5kg The vet said I should just keep and eye on him over the next few days and if he doesn't pick up or gets worse that I should take him back. Thank you everyone fore your kind words and support xx |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Glad he is ok. . . Vaccines can do a lot to our little guys. . . I usually space them out. . . Giving one every two weeks. It is too much for there little bodies

| It's not nice, I feel so bad for him. I was surprised they give the vaccines so young as they are so tiny. Poor baby! |
