Yorkie Health?
I wanted to know if it is safe to pick a yorkie up during pregnancy. As i know that if you are not experienced that you should not palpate a dog as this could injure mom or pups. ( I def. wont do this myself as i believe this is solely the vet or experienced breeders job). My question is, is this the same for picking them up as well? Also, I know they say in the 4th week to eliminate activity (lessen). How do i get my yorkie to stop jumping off the couch, bed etc. when yorkies are active as it is. Any suggestions????

All help is appreciated. Very caring of my baby girl and her puppies!

ok it should be ok just keep her jumping to a minumuim and when you pick her up don't squezz her belly also if you are selling the pupps plz contact me with the price or whatever lookin for a new dog

and about the bed thats pretty hard I would just carry her alot or keep her in her cage. she most likely won't wanna do anything anyways

I have raised yorkies for 14 years and have not had a problem with picking them up when they are pregnant. I don't pick them up around the middle but support under the chest and hindquarters. Enjoy your new additions.
