Oh dear....my best suggestion is to find a mentor......whelping a litter is not something that can be learned on a website. Read everything you can about whelping.....You aren't in the best of situations....having a mixed breeding that is an oops...that in of itself is scarey. Breeding and whelping standard size yorkies is difficult enough with experience.
You're girl is 5 pounds....which is on the lower end of the weight chart of a breedable female (by the way....there is no such thing as a minature yorkie) the Yorkshire Terrier is a Toy dog.
