In my opinion, any Yorkie with recurrent UTIs should be bile acids tested because they are very much connected to liver problems. Your vet can do a cystocentesis (most sterile way of taking urine and not nearly as bad as it sounds) and send it for culture. You can also do an xray and/or ultrasound.
i think the crystals in the urine is more of a concern with liver issue but never hurts to have bats on yorkie and maltese breeds to rule out liver issues
