One vet told me to put some corn oil on her food. I haven't done that for a long time. Why would that help?
No idea why that would help.
With an already balanced commercial food, I'd hesitate to add too much oil because of the pancreatitis risk in Yorkies that eat excessive fat.

My dog's postprandial bile acids were 106 at last check and she has had acute pancreatitis, so we go through a lot of misery with food too. I homecook though and we can change ingredients around.
