He should be on free feed, meaning food down all the time. This is abuse and could cause death if he goes hypoglycemic. It would probably be considered cruelty and I hope someone who knows about it steals the dog from her and hope she never gets another one. Not proper feeding can cause malnourishment health problems, ricketts, kidney/liver failure and other permanent health problems. I hope she does not keep the puppy and never gets another one. |
:eek: I think if you had any love in your heart for this pup you would stand up for this little dog and tell your sister that she is wrong, if that dont work than just take him home with you, I hope you or your sister do the right thing for him.:aimeeyork |
Hopefully, this is a troll post but if not I say what's wrong with her vet??? Do they not weigh the puppy at each visit and notice something is not right? This pup is not long for this world if someone doesn't intervene ASAP. Very sad. |
I've been following this thread... it's nuts - I agree with everyone else. I just want to grab people like this and SHAKE SOME SENSE INTO THEM. I keep checking back to see if the original poster has returned... doesn't look like it though... maybe she's not coming back |

Anyone who would basically starve a puppy like this, is not dealing wtih a full deck! I would tell your sister that what she is doing is ABUSE and that if she does not feed the pup properly, you are going to take action. This little puppy is helpless, and needs you to step in!!!!!! |
why? why? why? so may questions why? why do people get these pups and not take care of them? peopled are getting them cause they are cute and tiny and oh look she can wear clothes, i mean wth, i had a lady ask me if i ould breed my yorkie with her chi, so she can have a yorkie, and being that i go to church with this girl i should have been nice but i blew my lid, thats not a yorkie its a mix and thats so dam retarded, and she just looked at me and i told her you dont breed just to have a dog, i just lost it and im at the point now to, does she know what health probs she can be causing that pup? she is slowly killing it, im done im just cant sit here and think about his poor pup looking for food, its so sad |
this just turns my stomach |
My gosh I feel sorry for you. It is your sister. But think about the dog...... |

thanks everyone for the replies. i have spoken to her about it and she is increasing the amount of food she is feeding it by a little, although she is still regulating it. and to clear up, the vet has not picked up on it because she has switched her vet a couple times. also, i think she has misinterpreted what one of the vets has told her. she asked him how she can try to keep him small and he told her that it would depend on what he ate (he most likely talking about weight not size). also, she credits his lack of energy to puppies needing a lot of sleep. |
hmmm...i posted a reply yesterday but it looks like it didnt post. anyways, i spoke with my sister about it and she is increasing the amount that she's feeding him, although she is still regulating it. also, the vet has not caught on to it because she has had to switch vets. i think she got the idea to do this because she asked the vet how she could keep him small and he said it depended on what she fed him (presumably talking about his weight NOT the size). also, she has some friends with yorkies who are very picky eaters so they naturally do not eat that much so she figured that her little boy could go with not a lot of food either. thanks everyone again for the replies and i'm working on her to increase the food little by little. also, doesn't the amount of food puppies require increase until they're a year old? and does anyone know of any diseases or specific problems that can happen so that it can scare her? |

Liver/kidney shut down General body function shut down leading to irreversible shut down leading to death. Yes a puppy needs more as they mature and age. A Yorkie pup should always have a good quality kibble down all the time and the owner has to be sure it is eating not just the food sitting there. Some can be finicky, they can also die if they are not eating. Ask your Vet, talk to your sisters new Vet and give the clinic a heads up. A puppy should never be losing weight. |
You need to set your sister down and tak to her. What she is doing is so wromg, That poor puppy, You should never underfeed a puppy. If you cant make her understand then she needs to be turned in for abuse. |
