GiGirl, don't give him milk. He cant digest it well, and it will start diarreah that will be hard to clear up, and the dehydration could make matters much worse. Stick with what he is eating. You can soak it in warm water, grind it up in the food prcessor or blender and add water to make a 'mush'.. don't give him people food. When you DO go back to work, yes, a bigger area than a crate.. he can't be left in a crate for 8 hours. You will need to babygate off a safe area with food, water, bed, safe toys, and a potty pad. If you can have a neighbor check on him during the day, that would be great... pick up some nutrical or nutristat at your vet tomorrow. He'll need it 2x per day minimum for the next month...morning and night. He will need to see your vet for probably 2 more sets of shots spaced about 3-4 weeks apart. He will be around 7-8 lbs as an adult based on his current weight, so will be a good sized, sturdy yorkie hopefully sooner than later.
Best of luck, and if you have more questions, please ask! ;-)
