My 4 week old Yorkie will not eat or drink. I was told to try and make him drink. Kits are not working. There have been no flu symptoms. All he wants to do is to lay down and sleep. Help.

I also encourage you to take your puppy to the vet. 4 week old puppies don't have a lot of reserves to go too long without eating or drinking. Is he still with the mother? Is he still nursing? If he is still nursing and not taking solid food/water, that's one thing. If he's not nursing or eating than there could be something seriously wrong and he needs to get checked out ASAP.
How did you get a 4 week old puppy? Some people say 8 weeks is fine to take a puppy from its mother, but ten weeks is better. The puppy will be more secure. You don't want a dog with separation anxiety.
Something is very wrong-just wanting to sleep? Have you taken your pup to your vet? If not, please take him now as his sleep may be his way of dealing with pain. Please do not delay as the problem will only worsen!
Puppies should not be taken from their mother before 6-8 weeks. Try putting it back with its Mom for a few weeks.
