| Treats Here's the story. We brought home my beautiful 8 week old yorkie on March 14. He was sick and throwing up on the car ride home and we figured he was just car sick. We tried to feed him what the breeder's fiance gave us, which was dry food, several times and he wouldn't eat it. Then after awhile he acted like he wanted it, but couldn't chew it or swallow it. We thought maybe his stomach was still upset. The next day (yesterday), he still acted like he wanted food, but couldn't eat it and continued throwing up. My husband took him to the vet and the vet said he was very, very sick so my husband called the breeder himself and told my husband to bring the dog to him. On the trip there my husband said that the puppy was sleeping with his tongue sticking out and shaking all over. The breeder gave our puppy a pill and some wet food and he suddenly perked up. I don't think he is ready for dry food, so therefore, we can't reward him or easily train him with typical hard treats. Is there anything soft that we could give him that is safe and easily bought? |

| You could boil some chicken and shred it and give him that as a treat or cut up some hotdogs into forths (not disk shaped bc he can choke on that) are also good options. Make sure you keep food and water in that baby bc yorkies can EASILY get hypoglocemic when they don't get enough food. Good luck and WELCOME to Yorkietalk! |

| I think it is the same thing just a different brand or manufactuer ..... or maybe there is only one and I don't remember which I have.... I have read about both , but am not positive they both exist... Good Luck ... hope your baby is better. |

| Treats Hi, I just got my 8 week old Yorkie on March 11th. Champion is not ready for dry food either. This past Saturday he ended up at the Vet as well b/c he became Hypoglocymic (not sure if i spelled that right) after getting his second set of shots. However, as for treats he's been doing really well with Beef Liver Dried Treats found at Petco/PetSmart. Hope that helps.
