| YHR just took in a tiny puppy. 15 ounces at 3 months and episodes of hypoglycemia like your pup. It is very important to feed her every 3 hours (around the clock) as instructed. The A/D is high caloric and the best to use for a pup like this. good luck!

| There is NO such thing as a "Micro-mini-pocket-teacup"...this is just a term some byb or puppy mill has decided to call a runt because "micro-mini-teacup" sells more dogs than "runt". Try as we may like, we can not legislate morality....we can not "outlaw' everything we find offensive or dispicable. Contrary to what the "mastermind" behind the conception of this precious little soul would like for you to believe, this baby may have been an accident that showed up in a litter.....there again, it makes that "genius" sound sooo much better if this baby is the result of some wonderful genetic planning and research, rather than an accident that is happenstance because two dogs bred that accidentally produced this unfortunate tiny baby. Who in their right mind would DELIBERATELY breed a puppy that was pre-programmed genetically to be sick and have a lifespan of only 5 years? One more little thing....I had an aunt that was a vet, and bred Yorkies for many years, and she had a customer with just such a itty bitty tiny little baby, and she knew she had enough experience and knowledge to buy that little doll in order to prevent it from going into the wrong hands. She wanted to give that baby the very best life she possibly could give it. Loooooooooog story short, that little darling lived to the ripe old age of 13, which aint toooo shabby. That baby never got over 1.2 lbs. and only had some issues with allergies.....and she had a little bit of an open fontenelle....but she was essentially healthy and never had any major health issues, including no issues with hypoglycemia! So, hopefully, you may very well have a baby that surpasses the estimated 5 year limit....if her only issue is with hypoglycemia.! I do hope this is the case!! |

| There is no such thing as a micro teacup pocket yorkie. Those are words used only to jack the price up of a pup and used by bad breeders and puppy mills. A yorkie is a yorkie 1 pound or 20. If she is 100% healthy and you are very careful as far as accidents go I don't see why she would only live 5 years.

| I pray you get your littles hypoglycemia episodes under control. You are a god sent to her. I'm sure there is a special place in hell for breeders like him.

| Thanks sweetie! I am sure there is, there has to be because these are precious creations that are gifts to us. That's like slapping my dad for giving me his love. |

| I would have her bile acids tested. She's awfully tiny and with these episodes I'm afraid of a liver shunt... good luck and keep us posted.... |
