It is very dangerous to use a flea collar on a Yorkie of any age...you are lucky to have not lost your new companion...I had one chew their collar many years back..needed the vet and then one got it caught in her mouth...another mess...I tossed them all out..seen a few friends lose their pups by nibbling on another collar on a pet in the house...good luck

PS...I Yorkie was 6 pound adult, I found her in the morning with the collar caught in her lower jaw..she was over on her side..but lived..it was not low blood sugar. This was back in 70"s when most used these collars to control fleas.
