I by no means am an expert on puppies . . .but I think he needs to see the vet asap . . .most vets will have a 24 hour on call service . . .he might be sick because his sugar is low. Did you buy any nutrical? If you don't have that, you might want to try putting some syrup on your finger to see if he will take that . . .he needs to have something. Yorkies and other small breeds are commonly known to have low blood sugar!

Also, 7 weeks old is really young to have been taken from his momma, way too young! Most yorkies do not leave their homes until at least 10 weeks of age . . .
