| OMG - he is adorable!!! What's his name? Welcome to YorkieTalk! I got my little girl when she was 10 wks old and 1 pd 10 oz. Almost lost her 3 times to hypoglycemia. She was standing there one second and fell flat on her side the next. Scared the heck out of me. I had a little bag packed for her but one time that she went down I only had time to grab her - put her in my bra/shirt and drive to the vets... but I kept her warm. She had to stay at the vets 2 times! It's nothing to play with. We had to use a syringe and hand feed her for a long time. There were a lot of things she missed out on being taken from her Mom and littermates so early. It's such a shame when these people do this to these babies. I took off the first 3 weeks we had her. I just couldn't leave her when she was that little. Yes, your puppy will be up very little. He's like a new born baby. Sleep - eat - poop. I'd like to add that I think you should look for a new vet. If he wasn't familiar with a hypoglycemic episode or shocked that your puppy was taken so young - then I don't think he's too knowledgable on Toy Breeds. Start looking right away because he'll need to be seen again if his poo doesn't firm up soon. You have been given excellent advise here. Please come and ask if you have any questions. Good Luck with your little one.
