bigger has to better right? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This will be my second night with just a few hours sleep because Tia has yet another tummy ache.
I don't want to be put off getting another this summer but I got more sleep and less worry with my 2 skin kids when they were babies lol.
Anyways can anyone reassure me that a bigger yorkie (more than 5 lbs ) have less tummy troubles than a tiny tot.
I love Tia more than anything , hence the worry however I didn't set out to get a smaller one it just happened , so I desperatly want another but Im thinking a regular size that isn't so delicate.
My question is ,would a 8lb baby be ok with my tiny princess?

Sorry Tia is having tummy problems. I don't think size can guarantee health as my biggest is my sickest. I think most important is buying from a great breeder and hope for the best. I hope she is feeling better soon.

Aw, I hope Tia feels better. I don't think size necessarily has anything to do with certain things but I do think bigger ones can handle more in general. Jackson is 12lbs and has never had any real stomach issues. He's thrown up a few times after eating something bad or something but that's like any dog.
