Congratulations on your new yorkie puppy.

I agree with making sure you give your young puppy NutriCal every few hours in addition to feeding her. I have done this with both of my puppies so that we could avoid the possibility of hypoglycemia.

If for some reason your young puppy is not eating much on her own, try giving her food by hand or holding her food and water dishes while she eats. I have had to do this with my yorkie puppy when we first brought her home. She would not eat much on her own unless we did this. And my little yorkie was 11 weeks old when we brought her home.

I also agree with making sure your young puppy gets ALOT of rest/sleep. My vet told us that is is very important when they are young. And especially for a tiny puppy/dog.
