Hello everyone!

I am very worried about my newest Yorkie. He only weighs 1 lb. 2 oz., is 3 months old and will not eat and continues to lose weight. I have another Yorkie (3 years old, 8 lbs.) and never dealt with such problems.

I have supplemented with Nutri Cal and have force fed for the past 5 days and when I visited the vet for the third time this week, the little guy had only gained 1/2 oz. I am getting so disheartened and I'm worried that he will not gain the weight needed to survive and live a healthy doggie life.

Any suggestions? Do any of you own exceptionally small Yorkies and have dealt with the same issues?

Much thanks!!
