I bet you were scared to death! My baby is 7lbs so I've never been worried about hypoglycemia with her, but you always have to be so careful with the tiny ones. I'm so glad she made it and is okay!
I just wanted to say that it is fine to feed her canned food instead of kibble. I actually believe it is better for them as it is less processed and contains moisture that they need. You could leave kibble out all the time but feed her canned at regular meals. Just be sure to find a premium canned food like Nature's Variety, Innova, Wellness, California natural, Canidae, Merrick, etc.
I would definitely have her checked for a liver shunt, especially since she does have access to food all the time and at her age (even though she is tiny) she shouldn't be as susceptible to hypoglycemia as a young puppy. Liver shunt is a very common genetic problem with yorkies. A lot of vets will mistake liver shunt for hypoglycemia because of similar symptoms. I hope you'll have her checked.
