HOME CARE ADVICE FOR YOUR NEW BABY
Your baby will need a few items to provide safety and emergency care to have on hand. Here is a list of items I personally recommend having.
1. Puppy crate or playpen. Even though I love for your new baby to have full access to his new home. He is a puppy (youngster) and everything is food, toy or wee wee area. At this age, your new puppy is constantly learning. Controlling his environment helps protect him against things they can pick up that can potentially harm them when you can not watch them. Also, crate training teaches your new baby how to hold their bladders a little longer. But remember, tiny babies need more restroom breaks than bigger dogs.
2. Food and water bowls. No plastic bowls. Your baby teeth can break off pieces of the plastic if they decide they have a new chew toy.
3. Puppy pads. You can buy reusable pads from amazon. And disposable pads for travel. Try not to get scented pads that smell like your laundry detergent. This may encourage accidents on items you wash at home.
3. Comb and slicker brush. Your baby will have a longer coat of hair compared to short hair dogs. Their hair will need be de-tangled on a daily basis.
4. A puppy harness. Harnesses put less pressure on these little guys throat and can prevent accidentally choking or trachea clasping.
5. Retractable leash. I recommend this solely because your baby can have some freedom when learning to potty outside and still provide safety from running off or other animals.
6. Dog bed. Or a blanket for your bed.
7. Doggie stairs. These babies will try to get upon the furniture to be next to you. So in order to protect their legs from accidental breaking when trying to jump down.
8. Toothbrush and toothpaste made for dogs.
9. Karo Syrup, Hi-Vite or Nutra Cal supplement. Your baby has a very high metabolism at the moment of high activity or longer periods of food not being available. Their sugar levels can potentially drop making them hypoglycemic. This supplement can save your babies life. Please remember to research hypoglycemia in yorkies.
HYPOGLYCEMIA IN YORKIES
When your puppy arrives home pay very close attention to how your puppy is responding to you and her environment. If your puppy is very actively moving around and all of a sudden is being really quite and laying around more than usual. This could be a sign that his/her sugar level has dropped from prolong times without food. It's imperative that you offer Karo syrup/hi-vite and then seek medical attention. Getting to know your puppy attitude helps you to understand if he/she is not feeling well. I provided a link below for more information on Hypoglycemia. .
GROOMING YOUR NEW BABY
I believe this is the time when you and your puppy have quality time. This is also another time where your new puppy learns to build trust in you.
Daily brushing isn't a must but i do recommend combing your babies hair at least 2xs a week or more if kept at a long length. Pay close attention to the hair to make sure its tangle free. Try not to ever bathe your puppy's hair before removing any tangles.
When thinking about bathing your yorkie consider buying a higher quality puppy shampoo and conditioner. Your puppies hair is similar to human hair.
I also recommend using a terrycloth towel or a t-shirt. This will help retain hair length.
Also consider blow drying your babies hair out to prevent tangles from hair curling.
After about 1-2 months you may decide that you are more of a shorter hair person. I recommend doing some research on groomers to make sure you can get the look you want on your new baby. Also check on their references.
