Sad Update

the smallest male in the litter died yesterday morning. The other two are still doing ok, Im keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to thrive.

I need to know a few things if you all dont mind me asking. I know I have several weeks yet before I can bring him home, but I want to be prepared for when he gets here.

I have read several posts on here about "low blood" sugar.Is this more common in Yorkies? When I bought by tiny toy poodle (she is 4 pounds) 2 years ago, I was petrified that she would have a low blood sugar attack so she stayed by myside all the time and I fed her often and to this day I make sure she eats at least 3 times a day. She is free fed but I keep an eye on how often she eats.
My new pup isnt going to be any bigger than my poodle, both parents are 4 pounds ish. I didnt know about nutrical untill this board, where do I find it? I want to have it on hand "just in case" and how often should I offer him food? Do I offer him several small meals a day, like I did with my poodle?
Any other advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
