12 Week old Sneezing... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just bought her last Wednesday night. And now shes been sneezing and having a runny nose for a few days now. I dunno if it'll pass soon or do I need to do something. I've never had a sick puppy before...

I would take her to a vet, she really needs to go for a first check up anyway

Never ignore cold symptoms in very young or older Yorkies. It can develope into pneumonia very quickly. She needs to go to the vet asap and be put on antibiotics. You've had her a week ... she was around other dogs prior to you getting her ... it could be very serious. Vaccination status is unknown, many diseases can infect little ones. Please go to your vet ASAP .... and no vaccinations until she's better.

She is from a breeder, so I have a list of vaccinations she has had, but I will take her to the vet today or tomorrow. But I will for sure call them today. Shes active and everything, just sneezing and runy nose =(

Yes take her in dont take that chance, she is too young

My friend just had the same problem with her baby girl and she took her to the vet and she has bronchitis. She is now getting better

As the others have said, she needs to go to the vet. She probably has an upper respiratory infection.

Well, I took her in. Shes fine. They said it may be due to a shot she recently got before I bought her, which is shot up her nose. So thats a relief. But, Her knees are weak in the back and may pop out every now and then. Worries me.

But at least overall shes healthy and protects her mommy from other puppie already! LOlz
