actually two problems.
Changes in diet can cause digestive track upsets. It is best to do a change when everything else in their little lives is status quo that way you can tell if food change is cause.

When pups go for shots it is common for the vet to give them a few at a time but with Yorkies it is often too much for their little systems and they can go through 3-5 days of "flu" like symptoms and dehydrate very easily.

This has happened to me and now I will go to the vet for the pup checkup and to start the shots series. I will pay for all the shots needed at the time but will only let him give one shot at a time. Then I wait 2-3days and if no "flu-like" symptoms come up I go back in and get other shot. It works great that way. If they get upset system at all it only lasts like a few hours to 1/2 day.

I honestly believe small dogs shouldn't be given multiple shots in one vet visit.
