I'm so sorry that your family is going through this. I've never had a yorkie have this happen. I had a neighbor two years ago that had a boxer who had similar symptoms. He couldn't even lift his head up without assistance. He had a growth around his neck that was attached around the spine. They took the dog to North Carolina to a medical college that operated to remove it. It took weeks of bed rest, then he had to go to occupational therapy to start to stand and then walk. For the first few weeks he stayed at the OT place, and came home on the weekends. Then they moved it to daily trips for the day (every day) and slowly reduced the time each week or two. They did a lot of his therapy in a swimming pool and on an underwater treadmill. It wasn't OT all day long, but every hour for some time and so on. They were a military family that moved to Texas and we lost touch with each other. When they left Rollo was walking and I've heard from some that chatted with them that he was running again. I will tell you that I know it was close to $10,000. I tell you all this to give you hope for your baby. Are you comfortable with your vet's expertise? Is there a veterinary surgery center or veterinary college that you can reach out to possible?
Please, know that you've come to a wonderful site with people that have tons of different experiences with their yorkies. I hope someone can offer you more insight into what maybe wrong with you little one than I have, but please know that I'm praying for you. Please, do keep us posted on how he's doing. You may educate someone else who has a yorkie with similar symptoms.
