Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I am so sorry your pup is sick.

You need to have a vet check the pup as soon as possible, and take a sample of his stool in a plastic bag if you can. One of my pups had the same symptoms, and it was coccidia, which is somewhat common, and sometimes comes on when the pup is stressed, such as going to a new home. This is serious, but treatable with proper medication, but don't wait around, the little pups can go down really fast.

Your pup could also be experiencing hypoglycemia if he is not eating regularly, which would explain excessive sleeping and walking wobbly. You need to get him to an ER vet immediately. You need to learn how to identify and treat hypoglycemia, as it can cause severe damage or death.

A reputable breeder doesn't let pups go to their new home until 12 weeks, and for the very tiny ones, even longer. Many people don't know this until they find themselves in a situation like you.

Please please get this pup to a vet asap, and do post updates when you can. I'm praying for his recovery.
