 How young is too young to bring home a yorkie?
We brought home our first Yorkie two weeks ago, she was 7 weeks old. She was energetic and playful, we were potty training her. One week later, she was sleeping much more than usual and not eating and hot. It was a Sunday, so we couldn't get to a vet, "emergency" services wouldn't take her because we were not already a client. We gave her honey as the breeder suggested and it perked her up somewhat. We took her to our vet on Monday and she was diagnosed with coccidia and they were treating her, but she died 4 days later. I think the breeder gave he to us too early, we didn't know they had such fragile immune systems. If we would ever get another yorkie some day, how old would it need to be to not be so susceptible to coccidia or other diseases? |
