I think i want to get some more weight on him. What would be the best way to do that.
Did you get an estimated weight from his breeder? How big is his parents and past litters? When you look at the Yorkie puppy weight chart at Yorkshire Terrier - Yorkie Puppy Growth/Weight Chart - watch us grow it puts him at around 4 pounds estimated adult weight, if he follows that growth pattern.

When my boy Jeter was a little over 3 months old he was 1 pound 4 ounces, he is now 14 months old and is 2 pounds 8 ounces, he's so tiny! He was estimated to be about 4 pounds as an adult by his breeder and she was going with past litter's from the same parents. It seemed to take him forever to gain just an ounce! I worried about him being small and not gaining weight. I took him in for weekly weight checks for the longest time at his vet's. He ate well and was healthy, so my vet said he was just going to be a smaller boy.
