i hate to throw this out there but i would go to internal medicine specialist and have a work up as my concern is liver shunt as hypoglycemia and liver shunt go hand in hand and liver shunt and mvd are very common in tiny yorkies and yours is small. I would recommend cbc, pre and post biles, protein c test by an internal medicine specialist as most vets are not very up on liver issues in dogs and can be passing off as hypoglycemic and it can sometimes be more serious as my dex had hypoglycemic and it was not vomitting it was more lethargy -- I think virginia tech vet teaching hospital is near you is that correct? call and see if they have internal medicine. Our vet feels all yorkies and maltese should be tested for liver shunt and especially a dog exhibiting some symptoms such as vomitting, head pressing, seizures, picky eaters -- i would at least rule it out
