You have done the best thing possible already, which was to take him to a vet. Keep following up with vet help until things are resolved.

In the meantime we YorkieTalk members will throw out some possible things, but remember we are just guessing here, and are no replacement for vet advice.

Exactly how old is he, how much does he weigh, and when was he taken away from his mother (how long has he been in your home)? Has he recently had any vaccinations?

Do you have Nutrical supplement, and know how to use it to prevent hypoglycemia? Very important in little ones who aren't eating.

The first few days/weeks in a new home can be stressful to little ones and cause changes in eating and diarrhea. When my first Yorkie came home and wouldn't eat, finely diced boiled chicken breast was the one thing she couldn't resist, and a bit of cottage cheese.

Did the ER vet also check for coccidia and guiardia? My second doggie to come home had diarrhea with mucus and blood by day #3, which turned out to be coccidia and was easily treated. Be sure to clean up potty spots very well.

Hope he feels better soon, and do keep us updated, as we all share your concern.
