From what I've seen the ball position is normal for both dogs and cats. My puppy slept curled up when I got her at 8 weeks and now at almost 12 she sleeps in a lot of different positions. Maybe it's a throwback to the womb? It took Sheila a while to adjust and she barely ate when I got her and now 3 weeks later she's a little piggy. Your baby may just be missing his litter mates and mom. I took Sheila to the vet after her third day because she wouldn't poop because it was sticking to her fur. The vet took care of it for free and sent her a card to my work. Please take your little baby to the vet, yorkie pups are too small and dehydrate easily and have little fat reserve. I've seen a few pups that have had to be bottle/dropper fed to keep them nourished. The vet can re-hydrate your baby and tell you how to take care of him. I wish you all the best with your puppy and let us know.
