There are vets that have a large client roster of Yorkies or even small breed dogs...small breed dogs like Chihuahuas and Yorkies and Poms need vets that are familiar with small breeds as they do require different approach to solving problems than large breeds....
I would try the PLAIN CHICKEN BABY FOOD, not chicken and rice! I am a little confused about how old this baby is....6-8 weeks old?? You want to keep this as simple as possible for this baby....this baby is just not too far off still nursing if he was still with his momma....he is more into licking stuff up and just beginning to learn to chew gruel or softened kibble....the chicken baby food is easy for him to lick it up, they usually love it, and you will be getting food into this baby, which he desperately needs. Dont worry who he is going to right now...he is going to follow the food! If you are feeding him, that is where he will go! Just get food in him and when he get to be around 12-14 weeks old, he will expand his family skills.
