A 6 week old Yorkie does not need milk replacer if it is already eating solid food. I suggest Royal Canin starter mousse. Most Petco stores should carry this food. Call ahead to be sure. ( https://www.royalcanin.com/us/dogs/products/retail-products/starter-mother-and-babydog-canned-dog-food ) If you need milk replacer then use one made for puppies like Esbilac or NutriVet.
