So Piper is 3 months, 1 week today. She's been really sleepy today and it makes me a little nervous. I know it's normal for puppies to be tired a lot, but I feel like she's more sleepy than usual. We had to bathe her today because she stepped in poop and I noticed that I have black hair ALL OVER my white shirt. I thought Yorkie's didn't shed much so again, I'm worried something might be wrong. She did chew the carpet up last night where we had sprayed a bunch of bitter apple. She did not ingest anything and has had regular bowel movements, one of them being somewhat loose. She drank a TON of water yesterday, more than normal.

She's still playing and interacting, just a little paranoid.

Anyone see any signs of anything bad?

Oh and she hasn't been outdoors (except to pee and poo) and hasn't been around other people or other dogs.

How is her appetite?
Does she have a fever?

If she were mine, I would get her to a vet ASAP.

If you think something is wrong I would take her into the Vet. Better safe than sorry.

The Bitter Apple could cause excess drinking and loose stools. If no improvement is seen within 24 hours, I'd get her to the vet. One shouldn't let a puppy go for too long not being 100%.

Yorkies don't shed like other dogs, but will shed hair after bathing and during combing/brushing.

Thanks everyone. She's fine. Shortly after I posted that she started going crazy and playing intensely like usual. She's eating and such like normal.

Great! So glad she's improving...

Good news.

ShanPando · 08-30-2010, 02:14 PM

Thanks. She's pigging out as we speak. I guess it was the Bitter Apple she decided to get into and ignore. We got a Wii this weekend so she was quite pissed I guess we were playing with that for a bit instead of her

Aw poor baby! Someone needs to invent a Doggy Wii or add-on so she can play too!
