Hopefully it's just hypoglycemia because he's so young and not eating and some good meals will get him through this eventually. I hope he'll eat for you soon. I'm also concerned about liver shunt...it is so common with yorkies, and constant hypoglycemia episodes and refusal to eat are some of the symptoms.
I too am concerned this could be liver shunt. I thought the pup was alot smaller than it is. It seems like at 2 lbs he'd be maintaining his sugar level unless there was something underlining wrong. I hope I am wrong but I would ask the vet about it
