| Sorry you are dealing with this, I know it is worrisome! How old is your puppy now? If you've had a chance to navigate through these forums, you probably already know that 6 weeks of age is way too young to bring a yorkie home This is one of the reasons why. I don't have experience with this so please do some more research on here before taking my advice... From what I've learned, you need to keep some Nutrical on hand. This will help maintain the puppies blood sugar level. Due to their size, it's very important that their blood sugar does not drop too low. If you see her trembling, lethargic, or acting 'weird' in any way, give her a drop or two. I used honey for my baby and it worked really well. You can also try a small amount of peanut butter. As for daily feedings, you or someone need to be present throughout the entire time she's fed. To ensure that she's actually eating. Keep doing what you've been doing as far as force feeding her. If it doesn't start to improve within the next few days, I'd take her to the vet for a check-up. Better safe than sorry. Your vet may be able to give you some helpful feeding pointers as well. Good luck with your babygirl. I hope everything works out well. Oh and welcome to YT!
