sounds like you are off to a lucky start! Glad she is doing fine. Hard road but lots of good knowledge here and helpful yorkie friends to learn from.

I too got my Bella at 6 weeks. She only weighed 1 pound when we brought her home. I think we got very lucky.
She slept 6 hours every night, after a quick potty break at around 4am she would go back to sleep. (POTTY PADS are fantastic for night time potty breaks.) She never had the night crying, because she always slept with us. Or she was just comfortable. Or again maybe we got darned lucky. LOL
I got her puppy formula which I mixed with her food for the first couple of weeks. I also hand fed her a couple of times a day just puppy formula out of a bowl, just a little bit , just to give her a few more calories. I did have nutrical on hand, but never needed it.
She did have issues with chewing, but I think most puppies do. When she bit overly hard, I would 'yelp' and say no. And give her one of HER 'chewies'. She got over that in just a couple of months.
Now Bella is a VERY healthy very active 9+ month old dog, and is the sweetest thing in the world, very friendly with people and other animals and is very well rounded. No issues really what so ever with her..(Well other than trying to escape the house, but that is another story. LOL) Good luck!!!!!! You will be fine!!!!!! Welcome!!!

Thank you all in advance

OMG I know you love your new baby but it's important to point out what an unscrupulous breeder this was and tell others about her. I thinks it's important to list who it was and her contact info to hopefully warn others about her so others can beware they can end up with a sickly puppy being taken from their mother too soon. Glad to hear everything worked out but someone else might not be so lucky! This is a selfish money greedy breeder so sad!!!
