Question tiny yorkie

: My three year old yorkie gave birth to three pups, one male and one female. The male and one female were smaller than the other female. I believe the two were in one side and the other one alone. Well after 6 days even handfeeding my little male died even though the breeder rehydrated him but he was very weak. It was devastating for me. The other little female started sucking well but then I noticed she sucked but not enough. I have been feeding her with a special formula I read about in the web. evaporated milk egg yolk and whole milk yogurt. He is been doing fine. He wants to eat more and more all the time but is very tiny, half the size of the other one. Her stool is loose and yellowish but she is content and sleeps well. I feed her every 4 hours. Her mom cleans her up and keeps her warm. She opened her eyes at 15 days. I am really hoping she will make it. How big will she be? Mom is about 5 lbs and dad is much smaller. She looks like a week old but seems healthy.I took all of them to the vet a week ago and he said she seemed to be doing well but could not tell what would happen. Any ideas? Am planning to start them on their own food also next week. What is a good brand and should it be soft or dry food crushed and with water?
