I do have experience but not a great deal. The main sickness I have dealt with in puppies is years ago I had two pups with liver shunts. That experience was terrible. The issue with those pups emerged after they started eating solid food. I did sub-q fluid injections with them also however they were older. This guy is 8 days old.

Good news! My scale has gone up 6 grams since I first weighed him last night. Albeit some of it may be food/fluids. It is an upward trajectory.

Thanks for all the advise. I spent the wee hours of the night watching YouTube of baby yorkie instructional videos. Some I knew and just wanted a refresher and other stuff I wanted to make sure I was doing is correctly.

I have an appointment with a vet for later this afternoon! I will post. Thank you everyone.

BTW he does not appear to be raw from the mom's licking.
