| Sad puppy? Hi. I just got my first dog ( a Yorkie yay! ) yesterday morning. He came exhausted with a car from another city. I brought him home and he ate A LOT of royal canin junior and some canned food. Then we played a little and he started sleeping. He woke up some hours after, played a bit and went back to sleep. The problemms are that he is very sad, tired, he sleeps A LOT, won't eat anything, he had some diareeah and vomited a bit. We took him to a vet. He gave him some pills and made him eat but now he won't eat anything and is still sleeping. He is 8 weeks old. |

| He is very young like a newborn. He will probably sleep a lot - as babies do. Is the Royal Canin what he had been on before your brought him home? How big is your little one? |

| Also, the vet made him an injection to relax his stomach or something like that... |

He is very young and very light. His weight is very small. This means you need to be aware of and concerned with hypogyclemia. Get some Nutrical. This is a supplement. If not that then sugarey water. Make sure he has feedings every 3 hours or so. Even if only a tablespoon or so, better more than that, but at least a tablespoon. Also as earlier person said, he is still very young, here we recommend pups don't go home prior 12wks old and 3 pounds. When we got our boy he was 13 wks and just over 3lbs. He was so tiny to our eyes and hands. We were so worried. But he did well and is a thriving six pound boy.

| Yorkies at that age will sleep a lot, they are very young. (Yorkies shouldn't leave their mothers until 12 weeks either). The stress from the car ride could have stressed your little pup out or possibly a parasite, did the vet do a fecal? Congratulations on your new baby What is his name? |

| Nvm, His name is Nero If by fecal you mean looking at the poop, he wanted to, but the dog didn't poop. He is now drinking water with some sugar, is that good? |

| When we played yesterday, he had so much energy, jumping everywhere and chasing me around the house, now even if he is awake, he won't play. He just sits. |

Ah.....also, make sure you are giving him filtered or bottle water....as changing water can upset his digestive tract. Feed him a bit every 2 hours. Also, as someone suggested Nutri-Cal or NutriDrops. Becareful with the Nutri-Cal as it can bring on a hyperglycemic attack if you don't follow the directions and over use it. It can also contribute to sugar diabitis.

| I just wanted to wish you luck with your new little one. As another person said, he is just a teeny baby and should still be with his mom. Mardelin is a good resource as she knows what she's saying. Good luck and enjoy your new little one.

| Your baby is very new and tiny--I would feed rice cereal with goat's milk until he is a bit older...you need to feed him at least every 2 hours--and make sure he is drinking filtered water. Keep track of him---he is very fragile at this moment. |
