Don't you hate it when they make you worry so much. I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you. My yorkie is close to 4 years old and she's 12 pounds. She isn't overweight at all. It all depends on their size. At 8 pounds she would be a skeleton, just like people, it depends on their body type. I would be worried about the constant panting and lack of energy also. If it was just the panting I would maybe blame it on her being either anxious or excited, but then it seems like she'd be pacing and/or hyper, not just laying around. Sugar doesn't have a ton of energy but she does get up to chase the cat or to play w/ her brother a few times a day. She lays around most of the time though. She does enjoy going out and wandering around the back yard but she's not a bundle of energy.
I do hope you get some answers. You'll probably feel more comfortable if you take her in for an appointment with another vet. Maybe you can get a referral from someone here or someone you know for a new vet. If not, maybe you could call around and find one who has a lot of experience with yorkies.
Good luck. You'll be in my prayers.
