Yorkies are very prone it liver shunts and microvascular dysplasia (small shunting throughout the liver).
The bile acid test (two blood draws) shows liver function.

Dogs with either of those two things can easily get bladder stones (not sure about kidney stones) and seizures. Since this started later in life though, it may not be related at all. Since all Yorkies really should have a bile acid test anyway, it might be worth it for Diego.
