Hi and Welcome to Yorkiebabies.com Some of the most beautiful Yorkies in the World. Important Information about your new Yorkie Puppies.  Please Print this page. Your new Yorkie Puppy is like bringing home a newborn baby, here are some Important Tips. Food must be available to little Yorkies 24/7.  Puppies need to eat 5 to 6 times a day!!!  They are tiny puppies and therefore have tiny tummies.  They will eat often but not much at one time.  They eat an average of every 3 hours , even in the middle of the night.  You cannot feed these puppies 3 times a day.  If they do not eat enough they are prone to hypoglycemia which is preventable if they eat often a little bit throughout the day and evening.  It is your responsibility to see that they are eating !  We do not cover hypoglycemia, not does anyone else!  It is preventable.  So please take care of your new little one just as you would a newborn baby!  Make sure it is eating frequently! If you have a pool, please either keep it covered or get a child gate.  So many Yorkies die each year in pool accidents.  They can get in the pool but are so short legged they cannot get out.  Please remember that a Yorkie puppy does not understand the danger of this situation, please protect them with child gates.  This is a must. Yorkies have many cat like qualities.  They like to jump.  Never let a little Yorkie jump off the couch or off the bed.  They can break a leg or a worse situation may ensue.  Get a childs playpen and training crate.  Little puppies must have their nap times.  If you have young children you must supervise your children when holding or playing with little Yorkie Puppies.  Teach them the proper way of holding your new puppy and sit on the floor so they dont drop your new little puppy.  Childproof your house.  Unplug electrical cords, keep wires from tv's and stereos out of their reach. No bones, No greenies, they can get stuck in their throats and choke. Certain plants are poisonous to puppies and dogs.  Keep live plants away from your new puppy. Macadamia Nuts are bad for dogs, dont give them nuts. Chocolate is bad for dogs and puppies.  Dont give them Chocolate. Keep antifreeze away from dogs and puppies, it is lethal. In Florida we have what is called the "bufu" toad.  They are deadly to dogs, puppies and cattle even.  During rainy season in Florida which is May to September, these toads are out in abundance.  A puppy or dog let out at night to do their final "business"  may sniff at a tree or bush where toads hide at night.  These terrible toads can emit a poison from the back of their heads not even looking at the dog and kill it.  I lost one of my multi champion line 10 month old Shih TzuS, our beloved Coco, to these terrible toads.  We rushed her to the emergency animal hospital but it was too late, she died 3 hours later and suffered a terrible death.  I dont let my dogs out after dark, you should be careful about doing so also if you live in south Florida.  Love your dog and put newspapers by the back door or use a potty park.  This happens to many people every year in Florida.  Be extremely careful please!  If you catch this immediately upon happening, immediately rinse your dogs mouth out with running water, but do not let the dog swallow the water.  Go to a 24 hour emergency vet immediately.  If you have a cat also, get it declawed. Dont use collars on these little breeds, many Yorkies die at age 6 or 7 due to collars while walking them on leashes.  They get collapsed tracheas.  Be kind and use a body harness or harness dress or vest instead.  Only wash puppies in a tearless puppy shampoo or Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo.  Either way, make sure it is tearless.  Blow dry them thoroughly after washing so they dont catch cold. I do Not like puppy pads, they contain synthetic fibers which can be dangerous and even lethal to little puppies.  If a puppy chews one of those puppy pads and those fibers in the pads get caught in their throat, they can die.  I am old fashioned, use regular newspaper, it's safer. Keep your puppy away from other dogs and puppies until they have had their first Rabies Vaccine.  That means no doggie parks, no doggie beaches, no multi dog training classes until the Rabies Vaccine has been administered.  Puppies can pick up all kinds of things from other dogs and you dont know where those other dogs or puppies may have been or what they may have and carry and could pass on to your new puppy.  Be protective of them and they will reward you with years of love and protection in return. IMPORTANT VACCINE INFORMATION!! NO LEPTOSPIROSIS VACCINES for any toy breed puppies or dogs.  It is Not a necessary vaccine and may be very dangerous for small breeds.  All good vets know this.  Remind them Not do this vaccine. NO LYME VACCINES, this vaccine has killed even large breed dogs.  It is not necesary.  Use Frontline Plus as a preventative for fleas and ticks.  Use Heartguard to protect against Heartworms which come from being bitten by mosquitos. NO THREE YEAR RABIES VACCINE.  Only get the one year rabies vaccine!  It is too powerful for the smaller breeds.  It is better to go every year than to take chances with your beloved dog.
