Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me with my teacup yorkie's diet. I've only had him for little over two weeks and we can't find a diet he'll eat and have solid stools. He's gone through so much since we've had him too.. but to keep things short, we're looking for a diet that would help him!

I forgot what the dry food the breeder gave him but when we got him he ate Blue Buffalo for pups, after a critical decline (not sure what caused it) he refuses to eat dry food. It seems like he has low blood sugar so the vet suggested wet food (AP diet? i think) and he ate that up but would still have diarrhea. Then the vet decided to give him goats milk with the wet food to get more nutrients. He'll gobble up the goats milk but avoid the wet food! We then had to force feed him his wet food through a syringe because all he wanted was the goats milk. Then after reading some forums on here, we decided to try give him a little bit of nutrical (maybe 2-3x a day or when we notice he's being lethargic) with rice and chicken and we stick dry food in too. He eats the chicken right up and eats a bit of the rice and completely avoids the dry food. It's been a couple days on this new diet and he still is having nasty looking diarrhea (comes out like a mustard color, sorry for the detail of color!). Should we keep this diet for a couple of more days to see if anything changes?

Has anyone experienced this? Or has any suggestions of what to do? I would greatly appreciate it! We would love for him to go back to dry food too but so far none of our tricks are working out. Thanks!
