Sorry I have never personally heard of her.. But placing a yorkie puppy at 6 weeks of age is not something a reputable breeder does, sorry.. A yorkie puppy should never be placed into a pet home until they are at least 12 weeks of age.. How is she eating? Have you looked to see if her puppy teeth are in yet? You also might want to take a good look at her gums and make sure they stay a nice healthy pink color! If her gums start to look grayish you need to boost her glucose level.. Karo Syrup works great for this if you do not have Nutrical on hand.. Make sure that you feed her wet food, I believe that she would have a difficult time eating dry food at her age.. Has she been given any vaccinations or wormed? I would try to get her into your vet on Monday.. There are alot of wonderful breeders on here that I am sure will post some other helpful suggestion for you to help her.. My thoughts are with you and her~
