I know she is stressed and worried about her babies..but she will learn to trust you and see they are doing well. Taking the temp is your best bet and it is normal so far. You can put warm, wet compresses on her teats to help a bit..pups do not have to be filled to the brim each feeding to grow just fine. At 3 weeks you can make a mixture of milk and baby food meat, they will lick it off your fingers..that will keep them going..at 3 1/2 to 4 weeks they will be able to lap from a dish even if they can not stand well..use a saucer..but we will wait until the info is needed.
AND...people wonder why Yorkies are so expensive..!
