Hi and welcome to YT
!
First...is this your first yorkie...? If so, just be sure that you're very, very careful with these little ones - they can be quite fragile for the first 5 months.
Are you feeding the *exact* same thing that the breeder was feeding...? If not, you DO want to feed whatever the pup was eating good while with the breeder...and continue to feed that for at least 3 weeks+, until puppy settles in. Only then would you want to consider new foods.
If you are feeding the same thing, but she is still not eating -- then you absolutely MUST get her to a vet asap. Dogs refuse to eat when something is wrong.
Give Nutrical about 4x a day to supplement - especially just before bed and right when you rise in the morning - do that for the first 3 wks if concerned about blood sugar.
Has she shown signs of hypoglycemia...?
What is going on w/ her poos - are they normal...?
Lastly, just please be aware that there is no such thing as a "teacup yorkie" or "micro teacup" -- these are just marketing words made up by unscrupulous breeders who are trying to get you to pay more for a "teacup". A yorkie is just a yorkie, no matter if 2 lbs or 22 lbs - no such thing as teacup.
