Hi and welcome to YT. Glad you found us. How old is your yorkie and how much does he weigh? What kind of food did the breeder give you? Sorry so many questions but it will help the people here w/experience help you.

Some babies when they get to their new home develop a problem called Coccidia which causes diarhea and sometimes blood in the stool. The treatment is usually a medicine called albon which is only about $15 or so. Please do not let the vet costs keep you from getting your new little one checked.

Don't worry about the cost of neutering yet if he is a puppy although if you plan to have this elective surgery for him then you should start saving for it.

If he isn't eating you need to entice him with bland chicken or make a mixture of rice cereal and goats milk or buy the colostrum milk at the pet food store. They love that. He needs to eat every four hours or they can get hypoglycenia or low blood suger which can cause seizures, comas and even death. Make sure he drinks plenty of water also and get pedialyte (unflavored). You can add a little sugar to the water. It is best to use filtered, bottled or pedialyte but not tap water.

Let us know how he is doing.
