This baby should have not been taken from her momma until she was 12 weeks old.....WAY to young when you got her. THAT being said, YOU are now momma, and YOU are her sole source of nourishment and comfort and loving and all the rest that her momma would be doing for her during her infancy. Have you ever had a Yorkie baby before? Major concern is hypoglycemia...you have to feed this baby every 3-4 hours AROUND THE CLOCK....cant just put the food down and hope she will find it and eat. You have to feed her....you need Nutri-Cal on hand for hypoglycemia...if you do not have that, Karo syrup or honey will suffice. Puppy milk, cut with Pedialyte 1:1, one raw egg YOLK, a tbsp of Karo and a little (1/2 cup) whole live culture Yogurt mixed up well, warmed to body temperature, use this to make a puppy gruel out of 1/2 can of puppy food, 1/2 cup puppy kibble ground up, 1 jar Gerber baby food (chicken is good...not real strong...or lamb)....Put all this in a blender and mix it up so it is the consistancy of a thick malt....feed this every 3-4 hours, day and night....of course, this is a jar full...you will feed maybe 1/8 - 1/4 cup...if she wont lap it up out of a saucer, you need to get a 10cc syringe with an irrigation (feeding) tip and squirt a little in her mouth....she will get used to this and start to eat....Wishing the best for your little baby....hang in there and be a wonderful momma to her since her God given momma has been taken away....
