Default Please help me safe my lil 8 w/o Ziggy

I am a exhausted 1st time yorkie mom desperate for help.I have been reading alot of threats here in the past week and learned so very very much already.I am so grateful for this site & all you wonderful caring people. My husband and I had no clue of what we were getting into when we chose the runt of the litter, so called breeder etc..learned my lessons and then some after the fact but still am grateful for my lil man Ziggy
I love him so much and cant bare to give up but I cannot seem to get him better.I try so very hard.My heart is broken..Many vet bills from 2 diff. vets with little change in him..please can you help me help him.
Here is the info
8 week old male Parti Yorkie was fine 1st day..vet said he was healthy..next day Ziggy would not eat (owner provided me with puppy dry food in a zip lock bag and 1 jar of straint chicken baby food told me to mix it with the kibbles if he would not eat to do the changes for him) 1st day he licked of the baby food but never touched the kibbles...next day took him to vet for check up, vet said he was fine ..next day we took him again and the next day twice and the day after that and so on. Bought a tube of nutri cal 2nd day...Got put on albon for coccidia and on neometh for diarreah also on 2nd day ..on 3rd day visit got a anti vomiting shot..weight was down to 1 lb and started him on A/D perscription food to be fed around the clock every 2 hours via syringe..after many more vet visits under skin treatments and even changing vets.also added after vets advice,watered down sience diet can puppy food (which i put in blender) switching between watered down a/d food ..3cc each.. every 2-3hours) via syringe ...he sometimes drinks water from his bowl but mostly I give with syringe.He sleep all the time day & night..walks around a lil bit when he is not falling over..new vet told me to only give 1 cc nutri cal between some meals for maintenance and to dilute 1 part sugar and 1 part water and fill syringe to 1 cc for emergencies..did that already 3 times since yesterday..his diarreah was better today ..like a runny swirly tootsie roll instead of liquid..some days he will only poop once but urinate on avarage 4-5 times per day ..his weight last night @ vet was 1.1 lb..so a bit of a positive change..still sleeps all the time has no interrest in anything it seems..except when I rub behind his tiny ears...I hold him close to my skin alot when he is not in his crate..my husband thinks we need to trade him in. Breeder says sure ..I say hell no..so much more to tell..I dont trust breeder..caught her in to many lies also think I know more about what it takes to help a sick yorkie then she evr did in her so called 24 years of expirience..being that she comes across like the sweetest old lady she sure got very defensive when asked questions that could possibly help helping my baby.. instead I get a "oh,my daughter is on other line , or someone is at her door...I know I probly left alot out ..but its a start..time to feed the lil bugga..I thank you for your advise <3
