Additives used in the production of vaccines may include. 1  suspending fluid (e.g. sterile water, saline, or fluids containing protein); 2  preservatives and stabilizers to help the vaccine remain unchanged (e.g. albumin, phenols, and glycine); and. 3  adjuvants or enhancers to help the vaccine to be more effective.
The other element is a standard Yorkie that falls under or over the expected weight and/or size range. Breed standards have changed. The AKC used to list a minimum weight of 4 pounds (1.81 kg). Now, there is only a maximum weight of 7 pounds (3.17 kg) for a full grown, adult Yorkie. Even with this change on paper, most Yorkshire Terriers fit into the 3 to 7 lb. (1.36 kg to 3.17 kg) range. A dog smaller than this, fully grown, would be considered too small and may have size related health issues.
Yorkies live 14 to 16 years. Don't let the look of these feisty terriers fool you. While this popular breed is often pampered today, people used their ancestors to hunt rats. Little dogs tend to live a lot longer than larger breeds.
