Yes, Yorkies do eat their own poop unfortunately. Just gotta keep it away from them as much as you can. When you first get them into your home, they can be a little slow and lethargic, as they are not used to the new surroundings. When a young Yorkie needs to take medication, it can make them even more groggy and less active, as the drugs do have a big effect on such a little animal.

Does the vet have experience dealing with little Yorkies? I've heard of vets giving too much in terms of dosage to little Yorkies accidentally before, which is unfortunate. Have you talked to the breeder about his slowness and his unlively manner? Perhaps they can help you find out a reason for this. I'm sorry to hear about it, hope he peps up soon for ya!
