My small yorkie does - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi everyone, just want to say that my small yorkie, gina, weighs 3lbs 4 oz..she is a bundle of energy when she's up and going. This morning she heard a thud on the wall from next door, and she started barking like crazy. Then I calmed her down. It's just that she sleeps a lot, unlike boobah who is wide awake and bushytailed at any hour. This yorkie came to me from a former neighbor. She moved to Florida and then into a assisted senior home.
Gina at times seems to sleep a lot, that is what worries me. Yet the vet gave her a thorough going over. Checked her blood, (sent it out to a professional lab), all the tests came back negative. Oh, about a month ago she was treated for giardia and that eventually cleared up. Any comments about this situation out there? Thanks!

Also, when I got her she was 2lbs 8 oz..just like having another baby here.

how old is Gina now?

each yorkie is just different i guess. Mine sleeps alot too, unless i get her up to play. She's always ready to play or follow me around but if i'm laying on the couch she's right next to me sleeping.

Gina is 7 mos.old, and weighs exactly 3lbs,4oz...do you think she'll get any bigger? She is a silky yorkie terrier/ compared to boobah who has a thick coat and floppy ears as you can see in avatar..

They are all different. Just like people. My other yorkie was up and going like crazy all day. Kacee sleeps a lot, but she's healthy as a horse. I wouldn't worry about it.

Maybe this is the routine she was used to when she had the older owner. My friend doesn't wake up until aboout 2:00 in the evening, and his cockers stay in be accordingly and don't ask to be taken out or anything. They all just lay around sleeping.

That is what I thought too. This may have been the routine that she was use to.

They are all different. Since she has been thoroughly checked out by your vet I would guess that sleeping a lot is normal for. If Gina is skinny you might work on getting to eat more.

Maybe try to interest her in some fun interactive games.

My 2 year odl 4 lb. 14 oz Kooper sleeps a lot. He is a very healthy chunky little boy! He just likes to snooze!
