He walks in my office, looks at me. I keep typing, so he starts spinning. He'll spin a couple of times, stop, look to see if I'm paying attention. If I am typing a case, I try to finish it before I take him out, so I just ignore him. Then he'll spin, stop, stare, start spinning, and will do this about five times before he will just lay down or the spinning drives me crazy enuf I go outside with him just to get him to stop. (It's hard to concentrate on your work when that is going on in your periphery.) He still does not want to go out, but if I go on out the door, he'll follow me because he always has to know what I am doing. When we come back in, he's content again.

So... is that the walking in circles you speak of?
Maybe not because it sounds like he just wants your attention.
If he is staring and walking in circles (blank staring is another symptom) and doesn't really respond when you tell him to stop, then that could be an issue.

Either way, any Yorkie who has anything that remotely resembles a seizure really does need a bile acids test unless it is hypoglycemia and that probably wouldn't happen after eating.
