Hi Fred,
Try hand feeding your baby. Do you have some bits of ham or beef, tiny bits!! Or canned dog food?
If you already have vet appt, keep it, its free.........and if you cant get into another vet immediately then this vet appt is better then none.
Sounds like possible kennel cough, most of the time it is a benign condition and is viral and runs its course, but its possible it could be bacterial, and in those circumstances it is best an appropriate antibiotic is prescribed just to be safe.
When you go to the vet, tell them what you expect, dont let them call all the shots, doesnt mean you are rude , just educated, and if you act like you know what you are talking about you are more likely to get your puppy better care.
Does your puppy have diarrhea? Or normal stools? This is extremely important too.
Good luck to you and keep us posted. Welcome to Yorkie talk!
