THANK YOU!!! Everyone's words of encouragement are making me feel just like an overprotective fool. He ate a bit of soft food this evening and is running around a little; not as much as usual but still some. The breeder said he was fully weaned, but I'm not so sure.

As far as worming goes, the breeders said they gave him his first worming medication when I picked him up but the vet said that typically breeders don't use medication that is strong enough to get the job done, so he wormed him 3 weeks ago and I gave him his last round this past Tuesday. I haven't seen any worms, live or dead in his poop so maybe he never had any?

I did give him some Pedialyte (unflavored is best, right?) and some more Nutri-Cal and I think that is what gave him a little appetite. Does anybody think that being on Albon makes the appetitie funny or lessened? His gums are medium pink so I think that he's hydrated enough, hopefully.

The real reason that I question if he's as old as they say he is: Lacey was the runt of her litter and she only grew to be about 3 1/2-4 pounds on a fat day and this guy is a great deal smaller than her. I just keep praying I'll wake up and he's about 4 1/2-5 pounds, I'll feel MUCH better when that day comes! The lady that I got him from was just the nicest person around and she seemed genuine & caring so maybe I'm just being an idiot. I mean she did have 23 healthy Yorkies, she must be doing something right. I don't have any children so I guess this is my way of freting over my "baby".
