Welcome... And, puppies and dogs do not run temps like human kids do so that is not always an indicator for how sick they are. Your baby needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. Diarrhea AND vomiting are signs of several different diseases any of which can cause your puppy to go down in a few hours.. Do not try to self treat as you have said you are new to the puppy thing.
Yorkies are not the easiest in the world to house-train under normal circumstances and when a baby has diarrhea, it cannot hold it so it will soil the crate constantly. Bathing a puppy twice a day also is not good for its skin so that is another reason you need to take that baby, along with a stool specimen, to your vet ASAP...
Also, if the puppy has been sick since you brought it from the breeder, first notify the breeder and second, ask the breeder for advice. A responsible breeder will go thru all of the possible problems you can have and the treatment as well as when you should go to the vet with the baby...this needs to be done when you select the puppy and again when you bring it home....
