hello yorkie pals

We will be bringing home our baby yorkie on wednesday... now heres the thing! I live in Windsor Canada and I have called many vets after reading all your posts in here about a yorkie staying with mom until pup is 12 weeks old, here in our city there is no such law...and vets have all said she will be fine...as long as she is completely wheened off mom. Mia is 6 weeks old and is wheened off mom...
I want to know everything i need to know about raising my baby..just to let you all know, I am a stay at home mother and wife who has been dedicated to my family ... and MIA will be no different she is part of me now ...she is my heart!!

I have been reading alot in here about being a mom to my lil MIA ... and just have a few questions.
1) What exactly does nutri cal due? in canada it is not available but cross frequently over to detroit and will purchase some... can i find this at any pet store or is this something only a vet can provide or online
2)Mia is coming with her 1st set of shots and deworming, what age aprox is she due for her second?
3)I have been told keep a thing of honey on hand for her cause she is prone to hypoglycimia....is the honey thing true? if so how much ?
4) I bought her a playpen, puppy bed, a teddy bear from a store that has a heart beat in it to sooth and comfort her at nite so she thinks its moms, heating pad as well, some soft food and royal canin ...is there anything else i should get to prepare her for her welcome home ...
5) if she does not eat much should i help her by feed her lil bits at a time, and if she doesnt drink much should i be helping her maybe with a dropper or a bottle? cause i do know sometimes pups loose there appetite during stressful times and being taken away from mom and sibblings cant be easy on her.
6)and being mom isnt around to bath her anymore when is a good time to start bathing her? what type of shampoo ( BABY shampoo ok?)or no...

I so appreciate any feedback i could possibly get ...im so excited for my baby to come home but a lil scared and nervous shes so tiny...but like bring home my preemie 2 months early...my motherlys instincts will come out...and we tend to nurture and love our babies to healthy years to come ...
Thank you
Tanya mommy of MIA
