Good Afternoon,

My husband and I purchased our first Yorkie yesterday. He was born on 8/15/08 and his name is Tyson.

I need help. How do I keep him from crying so much? Also, he's not eating much. i was instructed to give him 1/3 of wet food w/ three tablespoons of water and three tablespoons of syrup. When he came last night he licked the whole plate but today has been unsuccessful.

Help?? Any ideas?

Congratulations!!! He is just scared right now from all the changes. It is important to make sure he is eating so he doesn't get low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It seems strange to be giving him 3 tablespoons of syrup. I would get Nutrical to help keep his sugar levels up and try and entice him to eat small frequent meals. Is he crying when you are with him or when you put him in his crate? He will settle down in a few days. What I did was keep the puppy in my bedroom at night where they could see me and they settled down pretty quick. Hang in there it gets better!!!

I have heard that if you wrap a ticking clock in a blanket and put it in with him he will settle down because it will remind him of his mothers beating heart. It works, I've tried it. Don't worry he is a baby he will get used to things. My advice is to just be consistant with whatever you do.t will make it easier for him. He will be fine. Good luck.
