Default may have a problem.

i have a few questions.
i am new to this yorkie situation so please dont condemn me for my actions.
shortly after i got my baby she pooped on my bed (witch is where she spends a majority of her time) and me being a little tipsy from a night of drinking, spanked her...i didnt really hit her but i did smack her but and my roomate said that my arm hit her face. ever since she has kind of shied away from me witch is pretty understandable.......will she ever warm up to me again like she was in the beginning? i feel SOOOOOO bad about what i did and it will NOT happen again.

also.
i read alot here on yt about peoples babies being so spunky and energetic.
NOT my M.j. She just lays around all the time....occasionally lifting her leg for her belly to be scratched. sometimes when i walk her she will turn around and smile at me and act like she wants to play but never does (with me anyway but ill get to that) i feel like she doesnt like me at all.
i live with eight people (i know thats ALOT of roomates)
my oldest roomate and owner of the property says that she will nibble at his nose and play with him. i have also witnessed her standing on her hind legs and doing the up down motion with her front paws to him when he is eating,
she never does this with me. i am kind of jealous since i like to think that i do
everything in my power to keep her happy.

since i live with so many....and we have another inside dog (italian greyhound)
i cannot leave food out for her at all times because Wiley (the greyhound) will eat it. so when i get home from work i usually feed her.
but most of the time she will not eat or drink anything.......she has gone so long without water twice that i have had to use a medicine syringe to give her the water i KNOW she needed. she is also VERY pick when it comes to food.
i work at taco-bell so i bring her beef and chicken alot...she doesnt really like the steak too much. is this ok? sometimes i smash up some dry dog food for regular sized dogs (old roy) and mix it with the beef from work (witch is seasoned) or beef that i cook myself. i heard that they need the dry stuff is this true or am i wasting time? she doesnt really like rice but she does eat it sometimes. what should i try to feed her that she will eat? how much should i feed her at one time?
she smacks her mouth alot....like its dry but she wont drink anything (well she will after a while, maybe im just inpatient?)

one of my roomates saw something on her butt and said it was a worm....she has had runny poo so i started giving her some over the counter worm medicine....that she throws up sometimes. what can i do about this before i take her to the vet?

sometimes...not always......her mouth is dry looking and her tongue white looking and breath bad......what is this?

she shakes sometimes......i started giving her a spoonfull of maple syrup as
told to do by a breeder i met online.....is this safe....
it doesnt really seem to stop the shaking.
she shakes when excited i know but why the shaking for no reason?


now that ive said all that let me clear some things up.....

i know she doesnt hate me.....she comes when i call her and i can walk her as
far as i want without a leash and she will stay within yards of me.
so why wont she play or be happy with me?

i read alot about how much they are supposed to be hyper and get into things, but she is not like this......ive never even got her to bark.
she does howl though when i do witch is cut as hell.

i know this is alot and im sorry if its in the wrong board but i didnt know where to post since i have so many questions.
i really enjoy this site and will be posting often!
as i said please dont be too upset with me for spanking her.....it was a one time mistake!
