 Care for your young puppy
Well, a yorkie's temporary ("puppy") teeth start erupting at one month, so if there are NO teeth, then the puppy is probably 4 weeks. You should take the puppy to the vet to be sure
Yes, you will need a lot of special care for such a young puppy. It is not good for a puppy that young to be weaned, but sometimes it does happen (like if a mother's milk dries up, or if she won't take care of the puppy).
You need to get some puppy formula (powdered puppy milk replacer) and mix it with kibble (small kibble, I recommend Royal Canin Mini Baby Dog - it's for weaning to 8 weeks). Slowly start puttin in less and less formula over a period of a couple of weeks until the puppy is just eating the kibble. Puppies that young need to eat about 3 times a day.
