Exclamation My 10 week old 1.8 lb baby yorkie refuses to eat anything!

I don't know what to do. He's already had a hypoglycemic attack and a siezure. We've been microwaving baby food (like 7 seconds) and feeding it to him through a syringe. That's the only way he'll eat. He refuses to eat blended dry food mixed with yogurt. Ceasar wet food, other wet (very healthy food with vegies), dry food, baby food (if not via syringe), NOTHING!

Luckily he's up and around seemignly doing fine now, although he has been tremmoring when he's not comfortable with something. Seems fine though now that we are feeding him like 1/4 or 1/3 baby food jar (small) every 2 to 4 hours.

We do not have the money to board him at a hospital to be given fluids and fed properly and blood monitoring, etc... We payed an exorbitant amount of money for him from PetLand (mom fell in love) and we took him to the vet hospital saturday night and that cost another 450 bucks...

I'm at my whits end with this. I do not know what to do other than hand feeding him baby food for the next few weeks, and even after that I hope he isn't so used to syringe feeding that we have to do that for the rest of his life.

He has the beginnings of pneumonia according to the Sat vet visit. It went from kennel cough to pneumonia within a week... Ugh.

PLEASE HELP!
