IMPORTANT INFORMATION :
If you are
considering adopting a puppy please make sure that you read
this page.
 DON'T
Allow your puppy free run of the house or outdoors right away.
A puppy needs to be supervised to make sure she doesn't do any
unacceptable behaviors or have housebreaking difficulties.
DON'T Leave your puppy alone with children.
Families
with small children should always supervise play time with the dog.
Especially with toy dogs, there small size puts them at a
disadvantage..
Keep your puppy
warm and dry. They need plenty of quiet time and frequent naps, and should
have their own space for napping……
*Make sure your puppy eats a least 3
times a day.
 Yorkie
and surgery
Yorkies (and other small dogs) have very small tracheas which can
be damaged by using a tube too large to intubate your puppy. You
want to make sure that the vet does the intubating and not the
tech. What I recommend is to specify on the waiver that you
must sign before the surgery can be performed that you want the
smallest possible tube if they must be and intubated and you
consider Isoflurane as the anesthesia of choice. You should also
stipulate that Halothane or any of barbiturates are not to be used
on your yorkie under any circumstances.
Many vets insist on keeping your baby overnight but I always ask two
things
1. Is someone going to be through the
night to watch over him?
2. If someone is not there, I know that my baby will constant
supervision when he is with me. Can I care for him myself?
Females Vs males
The difference between sizes and sexes is minimal, if
bred correctly. Neutered males
can exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as 'humping',
or 'marking' and lifting of
legs. But once the testosterone levels recede after
neutering, most of these behaviors
will disappear. Boys who were neutered early
(by 5 months of age) usually
don't
ever
raise their leg
to urinate.
DON'T
leave electric wires dangling close to the floor.
Young inquisitive puppies will
chew on them. Yes, they can get electrocuted or suffer a severe burn
to the tongue and mouth.
Basic
care is very important during the first week with your new puppy:
Giving Nutri-Cal morning and night helps your puppy maintain sugar level
during this adjustment period.
Watch
carefully for signs of hypoglycemia
(this happens when sugar level drops), and may be caused by stress
from being in new environment, not eating properly, or too much
excitement.
CHOCOLATE FOR MY PUPPY
Chocolate
is toxic, and sometimes even fatal,
for animals. Dogs are most commonly affected,
due to their ability to find it and the common 'sweet tooth' they
seem to have. It is important to remember that cats and other
species are susceptible to the toxic effects of chocolate, too.
The puppy is as
a newborn baby. Caution should be used in selecting where it
goes outside. Two deadly diseases, Parvo and Distemper can stay in
the soil for seven years. (While traveling with our dogs, we never
"walk" them in the "doggie areas".
Puppies
need protection against disease until he/she is 4 months old.
Please do not put the puppy in harms way keep them away from other
dogs, keep them clean and away from feces and urine.
Use
EAGLE
PACK We
had try many different commercial dog food and a after a lot of
search we feed and recommend Eagle pack. is natural holistic,
no preservatives, no colorants, no soy, no wheat....
*preventive
medications for fleas, ticks, mites, heart worms (We use and recommend
monthly Revolution treatments.)
Puppies can choke on small objects the same as a small
child. Please make sure any toys you buy have secure squeakers.
Always purchase latex toys not vinyl, Little puppies have
very sharp teeth and they can chew off pieces of the vinyl toys and
choke on they. Latex toys are soft and pliable
Give puppy a routine,
same time every day to be fed, exercised, and let out to potty.
Outside under supervision.
Take
it slow with your new puppy.
Let her meet each family member (people and animals), one at a time.
Gently and patiently.
The introductions should be supervised and under control.
Other pets sometimes do better when meeting for the first time on
neutral ground.
Be
consistent, gentle, and understanding as this puppy is just a baby.
Be firm about your rules,
DON'T
Feed your puppy with other pets.
Let puppy have her own bowl and place to eat. This tiny breed needs
to have nourishment more often than adult dogs or other puppy
breeds. If you feed your Yorkie puppy with another pet it will be
difficulty to tell how much she is eating.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM A
PET STORE.
