I'm sure you do not know this, but taking a Yorkie from it's mother before it's 12 weeks old can create problems. The most important is health. Your puppy needs to eat about every three hours. You should also be home or have someone else take care of him during the day. You need to have Nutri-Cal on hand if he isn't eating.
Juvenile hypoglycemia is common in puppies because they have not fully developed the ability to regulate their blood glucose concentration and have a high requirement for glucose. Stress, cold, malnutrition, and intestinal parasites are problems that may precipitate a bout of juvenile hypoglycemia. Toy breed dogs less than three months of age are most commonly affected.
Please don't sleep with him until he is completely house trained and big enough that he won't be falling off the bed. He needs his own bed right now.
