I'd go easy on the treats; they learn very fast how to hold out for better food. I'd stop all treats until she's eating her food. There's a difference between refusing all food, which is an indication of pain, and just refusing their dog food, yorkies are known to be fussy eaters! I had a huge problem with Joey until I found a kibble he would eat. If they don't eat any kibble within 24 hours, you might want to switch to a different brand, or sometimes just sprinkling a little Parmesan cheese on the top will interest them.
