As far as the pooping thing goes, just make sure he's getting enough water. It took Kaba a few days at home to adjust to drinking water. (they were mixing her food with the water before I got her) Just sounds like a case of constipation to me. Probably a little irritated from that whole fiasco and will take a few days to not be swollen anymore. Kaba got some runny poop right after I brought her home and she rubbed her butt along the floor. Of course, it scared the crap out of me thinking she had worms and what not but the vet said it was just irritated.
My Yorkie was right at a pound at 8 weeks. I think thats a pretty normal size. I wouldn't assume he would be much smaller than 6 or 7 pounds.
I asked my vet the same question about the food. He said there really isnt any definite amount but he said the best way to judge is about what the dog can eat in roughly 10 min or so.
Its all a learning process and thank goodness for forums like this one.
Good Luck! And if his bottom doesnt seem to get better in a few days take him in to make sure everything is alright.
