Morkie Puppy - Chloe

by Katie
(Oak Creek, WI)

Chloe's first picture!!!

Chloe's first picture!!!

I got my Morkie puppy Chloe about a week ago and she is just over a month old. I was given this yellow stuff from the place I got her from and I have to give her a half a cc twice a day. The other day she threw up and was not eating. Yesterday was a good day but today she has diarrhea.

I hope she's not sick. Potty training is going relatively ok. She's gone outside twice but its so cold here in Wisconsin that she can't stay out for too long. She shivers almost immediately. Anybody have any advice?

starstarstarstarstar 		More info on symptons
by: Anonymous

I went back and found the website i got my info from it is http://leerburg.com/pup-med.htm. They have info on coccidia and girardia. It may just be dewormer but i would check since diarrhea and loss of appetite are very serious symptoms of a small breed pup of such ayoung age most breeders won't let a morkie leave before 6-8 weeks. My girl is 8 weeks and only 1 lb so i will have to be very careful. Please check the website and call your vet. Best of luck with your precious baby!

by: Anonymous

You need to ask the breeder what is and why she has it. She can become dehydrated and without eating blood sugar drops quickly in these tiny dogs and needs to be monitored. If the stuff is Albon she could have Coccidious(SP?). I was just researching cuz one in my pups litter has it and is very contagious. If she still has diarrhea you will need to take a sample to the vet! Do not take any chances with your knew baby. She is soooo cute. I've been e-mailing my breeder all day today to make sure my Lexi will be ok to pick up on Friday and I'm calling my vet tomorrow! Good Luck!!!

Our Morkie that just turned 8 weeks also had a similar "spew" experience. The next day he ate like a champ when we were able to make a pudding of his food that the breeder offered with weaning milk powder and water. I really think that the powder helps with the digestion. So far there have been no instances of spew since. As for the shaking, morkies are so small that sometimes when they are nervous they shake. Try to make them feel more confident by laughing, being calm, and praising the puppy when it shakes. I like to just say "yea!" when he gets nervous and it really helps him stop shaking and he eventually becomes fine with whatever it was that made him nervous. Lastly, small dogs need to have a warning when being picked up if she is shaking in your arms, try to train her with "pick up!". Before picking up the puppy say this and the little one will get ready for you to lift her in the air. Imagine being hoisted up several flights with no warning at any moment... it is much better if the little one knows what is going to happen! I also like to praise him once he is in my arms with "good pick up!" So he knows that what he did was ok and not scarry.
Good Luck : )

by: milatomomma

Chloe is beautiful, she looks like she could be my Zoe's sister. The yellow stuff was probably a dewormer, they can make them throw up and have the runns. Puppy pads are the best thing for indoor/ outdoor dogs, because they know that its ok to go on them if they cant get outside.
You will have to get her some sweaters because they have hair not a thick fur. If you need a coat or sweater to go out she will too. We live in California and she gets a chill if I take her out at night. Good luck with Clhoe any questions send them my way.

by: Meg

Hi! It's very cold here also, so I'm just getting him paper trained and not taking him outside to the grass until he's a little older! I have a puppy pad and papers upstairs in the main room as well as all over in his room and he goes right to the papers, my morkie is really small too and can't be outside too long and he's doing really well with his papers!

I have a Morkie and he eats just about everything.So you have to watch them very carefully.I also noticed he shivered a bit when he was i-2 months old I bought him a warm jacket to wear outside. But as he is three months he does not shiver anymore and runs and keeps up with my other dogs. About the vomit and diarrhea if it is persistent check with your vet it could be treated.Good Luck! She is adorable!!!
