Well if I were you, seriously...I would go insane. But here goes on something i would try.

You said she had a seizure of some sort...this potty trouble could be a sign of future problems to come in your yorky. Id have the vet on speed dial just in case.

Try allowing her to only live in one room by use of gates so she cant get out, id suggest the living room. Set her up an area with her bed and pee pads surrounding it. Have plenty of cleaner around as im sure you already do. Plenty of toys and food and water availible at all times. Try leaving the TV on, there are plenty of dvd's showcasing dogs and only dogs. While you are gone that could help entertain her. Basiclly making her life very comfy and happy. If she goes on her pads then do your good girl thing and if she doesnt just clean it up. Obviously there is some kind of underlying condition.

As you do this very very slowly and delicately try to train her like you would just slow it down.

I feel for you and your yorkie and hope all gets better but id just try to take all of the stress out of your life and her life. This should help you out but like all good things, it will take time.
