Good post, I also want to urge you to know the symptoms of hypoglycemia, as others have stated, most yorkies are still with the mom at this age. They are prone to hypoglycemia the first 6 months of age because they have no fat storage. Have you thought about free feeding? This means having food in the bowl at all times, and allowing the puppy to eat whenever he's hungry. Best of luck, and we love to see puppy pictures!
