I am uneasy with both and have put it off...I guess it's a good thing I did.

If the CBC comes back normal but the vet is still concerned abot clotting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was an issue caused by her liver her pancreas having to do with low vitamin K. I wonder if MSU can check for that.
do not do any fatty acids on a yorkie that has had pancreatitis as while it it rare fatty acids can trigger pancreatitis in a dog prone to it. Yorkies have a higher content of fat in their blood and is why if on high fat treats, supplements or food can trigger the pancreatitis alot easier than in other breeds with less fat content in blood -- my dex almost died of pancreatitis so i am very familiar with this disease
