Cry My little yorkie is sick. Help!

I recently purchased a lil yorkie puppy at a petland store and he was only almost 9 weeks. Now he is a little over 10 weeks. On the way home in the car he started sneezing and it looked like a cold. The next morning right away I took him to the vet, it turns out he did have a cold and the vet had to keep him for inhalations and antibiotics and observation. He was there for 5 days. When I finally picked up my little baby he was so energetic and he was eating okay, not too much but was eating. After about 3-4 days he stopped eating. He is still running away from food, he turns his little head away from it, and he sleeps all the time. Seeing this I was scared he will become hypoglycemic so I took him to an animal hospital that same night. They checked his glucose level and it was fine, said he looks bubbly he might just be a picky eater. The next day he started vomiting from hunger, I started force feeding him with a syringe and took him to another vet. The vet said he looks fine outside, fine temperature, does not look sick. They gave him fluids under the skin and antiobiotic and another syrup for throwing up, and also canned food with sirynge to force feed. That was yesterday, and today we have been force feeding him every hour or so little by little with a formula mixture of baby food, syrup, and baby rice cereal that I read could work. Little Miko still does not want to touch the food and sleeps most of the time. Im not sure what could be wrong with him, he was such an energetic little guy. I even bought him a heating pad to keep him warm. Please if anyone is familiar with this kind of a case or has went through it please help, Im not sure what else I can do besides feeding him constantly so he doesnt go down. I appreciate any help that I can get so lil miko gets well. Thank You.
