Dog has knot. What does this mean?

My yorkshire terrier got a haircut last Friday. He came home with a huge cut in his side. Ever since then he walks sideways and sometimes starts shaking and freaking out and runs under my bed. Today in the place of the cut is a huge knot. It wasn't there yesterday. Does anyone know what this is?
Thank you EVERYBODY! Your comments have been so much help. I'll take him to the vet first thing in the morning. I'm so glad you care about others animals. This shows what good people there are in the world

To the vet, and the groomer should be notified. If they caused this injury, they are responsible to pay the vet bill.

How old does a Yorkie have to be to get it's first hair-cut?

Right now my yorkie is some months old.So how old does she have to be to get her first or cut?

2 1/2 or 3 months is a good age I'm glad to hear you're starting her while she's a pup it's really good to desensitize her to grooming from an early age.

What dog food brand do you recommend for a female puppy and then adult yorkie?

I would like to get some suggestions for the brand of food to feed my yorkie puppy now and later….

My dogs eat Chicken soup for the dog lovers soul. Other good brands are Taste of the Wild (I tried this first, but my dogs weren't raving fans), Blue Buffalo, Orijen, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, and a good amount of the holistic brands sold in Petco.

They sell in smaller bags, so you can try out one brand and if your dog doesn't do well, you can switch over to something else that may agree with her system better.

With a small dog, you can buy a large bag of dog food at a good price and have it last a good while. www.dogfoodanalysis.com is a great way to look up brands of dog foods and how they break down as far as ingredients go, and then decide what's best for you.

If you can buy it at Wal-Mart, don't. Don't shop by price, I used to feed Purina Puppy Chow which called for Josie to have 6 cups a day. On Chicken Soup, she only needs 3 cups. So while I was paying almost twice as much for better food, it lasted over twice as long, and was much, much better for her (less pooping, shiny coat, lots of energy).

And you could always consider a raw diet.

How much does a adult teacup yorkshire terrier weigh?

How big will they get?
How much do they eat?
What is ther bladder tolerence?

They weigh very little
They eat nothing
They have no bladder retention
They sit on shelves or in cupboards.

If you are talking about dogs…….. They are the runts and the sickest of the litters, that Puppy Millers have named something cute to con buyers into paying extraordinary prices for ill-bred dogs

I am looking for a teacup yorkie puppy!?

I am looking for a teacup yorkie puppy but can't find any for a decent price in my area or around it. Can anyone help me! I am willing to pick up at the following locations. Akron, Canton, Mentor, Painesville, Madison, Ashtabula or anywhere close to these locations. Please contact me at darbybrat@yahoo.com. I cannot afford the prices people have now a days and I know they are expensive dogs but if anyone knows of someone please contact me or guide me in the right direction. Thanks so much!!
I don't have to have papers but it does have to be a teacup yorkie. Thanks Again
In Ohio Please. I live in Andover Ohio
ok i am looking for a yorkie puppy no older than 10 weeks old that will not be more than 5 to 6 lbs full grown.

Try your local China shops.

And do some research. Yorkshire Terrier comes in ONE size - a two pounder is the same as a six pounder, there is no named or noticed difference (like there is in Schnauzers and Poodles.)

Anyone selling a "teacup" dog is selling poorly bred runt type dogs. You will NOT find one at a "decent price" because people who breed them are doing so to scam money from people who didn't bother to research. Period.

If you want a small Yorkie, find one from a reputable breeder. Or try a rescue group or shelter.

Yorkies and small dogs in general will cost well into the $900 range because they ARE hard to safely breed/whelp. They also have smaller litters.

Where can I get a puppy (yorkie, poodle, etc.) on sale in Birmingham, al?


Let's cut her some slack at least she asking, it is our job to educate her. Go on petfinder.com you can find great puppies for adoption and you will feel great to know that you saved a life. Please research the breed before you get it, a poodle and a yorkie are very active breeds that need exercise. Do not fall into the trend of abusing these dogs turning them into living barbies by dressing them up and putting them in a purse.

I have a Maltipoo and yorkie puppies.?

I have a Maltipoo and yorkie puppies. They usually lick me on my face, arms, and hands. Do I possibly gets worms from that?

No, unless they eat there poop then yes. They are transmitted via a fecal oral route and you need to take your puppies to the vet to get started with proper care and deworming
