| Thirsty Yorkie? Is it normal for a 9 week yorkie to be very thirsty? Not that thirsty in the morning, more thirsty in the evening, but very thirsty in the night to the point that she gets up from sleeping to drink water. I have her on Innova Puppy. Just wondering. |

| Maybe she is not drinking enough throughout the day... try to make sure she gets drink breaks during the day by placing her in front of the bowl and dipping your finger in it to entice her to drink. I would think if she drank more during the day she would sleep through the night.... But, I do have a 13 year old who gets up every night at 2 AM for a drink... I may try my own advice! Or you can add some water to her food...

| Oh, You're welcome! Let me know if it helps! Also, with her being so young, it would really depend on her activity level and such, maybe if you're still concerned and you don't get a better answer here, it would be best to discuss it with your vet. Yorkie pups, at 9 weeks, are normally still with their moms, and are fed moistened food to help transition them to a puppy diet by week 12, when they would be going to a new home. Maybe adding some canned food might help. I wouldn't try to limit her access to water yet, you don't want her to get dehydrated. Might be good to ask a breeder...
