| No, do not give them milk it can cause severe diarrhea. You might want to do some research on what and what not to feed yorkies. Or just stick to dog food. |

| Once a puppy is weened from it's mother, DOGS do not drink milk. I do know it can cause diahrea in dogs, other than that I would suggest you call you vet and ask. Why did you give your pup milk? You really need to find out how and what to feed your pup that is good for it. If your not sure YT is here. Ask before you act and this way you'll be safe. Hope your puppy feels better soon. |

| I usually follow this rule of thumb...if you dont know if dogs can eat it or not...its better NOT to give it to them. I know they are cute and that little face is very manipulative..but you have to be the mommy and do whats best for your little one. There have been times where i've questioned if Pasquale could eat something ....but i would withhold until i found out definitely.

| No, he won't die from that small amount. He might not feel good for a bit, but he'll be ok.

| I feel like a HORRIBLE mom. He was ok once he threw up. But honestly it was like a half of a shot glass of milk it was VERY VERY little...it was not alot. But he started back playing with his toys after he threw up!! Gosh I thought since he was young there would be nothing wrong with milk for him..... |

| All three of mine do not do well with dairy. We occasionally allow a little yogurt but cottage cheese, milk and the like will give them the runs. The ASPCA poison control website has a great long list of toxic foods and plants in addition to those tips here. Your pup is very young - keep it simple.
