do the pumpkin it will work but i would have your yorkie bile acid tested at some point as i have 3 dogs and 2 are perfect poop right after eating twice a day as i feed twice a day. Mine are 7lbs and they get 1/4 in am and 1/4 in pm so i think you are feeding enough as well as the dog food bags show to feed too much and why many dogs are over weight per our vet. My 10lb yorkie gets 1/3 in am and 1/4 in pm better to feed the higher amount in am and lower amt in pm.

The reason i say to get bile acid is what you are describing by small poops is what my mvd dog does she is not constipated BUT she has pellet poops - with liver issues which run in this breed they cannot process waste the way a normal liver functioning dog can so i think you need to have pre and post bile acid testing done and our vet feels all yorkies and maltese should have this done so if you have not neutered then do this before and do a full cbc panel as well at same time and have urine tested by free catch for urinalysis

just to be safe
