Sleeping too much? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My 10wk old Zeus is sleeping what like seems a lot. We take him out of his ex. pen to play and all he does is snuggle up to us and fall asleep. How much is too much sleep for a yorkie puppy?

I think it's perfectly normal for babies to sleep alot....My Tulip slept and slept when she was younger...even now...she's 6 months old...she'll sleep in late....play...then nap in the early afternoon....play...nap again..in the late afternoon...PLAY more and nap early in the evening..hehe

Thanks for the reassurance. He is playing with us for short amounts of time. He is such a cuddler not that we are complaining about that. Just making sure.

He's still a young pup so he probably will sleep a lot. Mu furbaby was the same way when she was younger. She'd take naps frequently throughout the day and sleep well throughout the night. Now that she's older, she only naps once maybe twice throughout the day.

I remember when Bella was a baby she would wake, potty, eat, play furiously and the next minute be zonked out.....all in probably an hour or two.

I wouldn't worry too much as long as he is eating and drinking normally.

This is our first puppy and I feel like a new Mama all over again. Watching his every move and worrying about him. Today we did have an instance where he refused breakfast and lunch and wouldn't drink any water. He eventually came around but I was just ill with worry.
