I'm so sorry to hear that your baby is so sick...My yorkie had coccidia when he was a pup also, and he was very, very sick. We had to force feed him with a syringe for a little while and sometimes force water. We started giving him water with a touch of honey, and he started drinking on his own. This helped him get fluids and also keep him from becoming hypoglycemic. The coccidia in combination with a few other things caused him to be severely hypoglycemic to where he would walk like he was drunk and have severe symptoms etc. We later found out that he also had a liver condition at that time that made things even worse.

It will all be okay in a few weeks. I think it took about 3 rounds of Albon to get rid of the coccidia in my yorkie. The important thing is to make sure that he eats and drinks.

I had to force feed a very small amount every 1-2 hours for awhile because he refused to eat completely. This was to prevent him from having a hypoglycemic episode.
