I have a Yorkshire Terrier about 6 months old. Lately, he has not been eating anything. I am not sure if it has to do with his teeth, his teeth are falling out and of course his new ones will grow back but can this be the reason?

His teething shouldn't affect his appetite. You'll want to get him to the vet and find out what's up. Like the others said, probably a parasite of some not so lovely variety. But he needs to eat, otherwise, as tiny as yorkies are, you run the risk of his blood sugar dropping, which can lead to seizures and death.

this dog needs to be seen by a vet immediately. especially the toy breeds can go down hill very fast. At 6 months he should have lost just about all the puppy teeth and this should not be the problem. If the pup hasn't eaten for more than 24 hours it's time for avet.
emergency vet if neccessary I definately would not wait until Monday as it may be to late.

Even during teething the dog should still eat. I would take him to the vet to make sure it isnt some other more serious medical problem. Hope it all works out.

Its not the teeth. Has the pup been wormed? Main reason for puppies to stop eating is because they have parasites. You should take him to your Vet now. Or go to the closest animal hospital. Small breeds can go down very fast. Good luck .
