Great news...there has not been any advise given in this thread that could cause a minute of distress to this sick Yorkie.

PLEASE never give raw hides again..they can cause bowel upsets in many dogs..especially as they get into the 5 plus years. HAM is not good either..
If it happend again, let her guts rest for 24 hrs since she is not tiny. Give her ice cubes and if she isn't licking them..spoon honey water in her mouth.

I lived in England, back in the days when a vet was a luxury, so you learn to care for your animals as best as you can....and these people can not afford a vet...it is a fact of life some people can not afford them. Should they own a dog, certainly, it is a free country and if people can have babies and not be able to afford them, so can dog lovers. I would hate for someone to tell me I could not have a dog if I was short on vet funds.
Beleive it or not, dogs can do well without alot of vet care..much can be gotten free or reduced fees at Humane Societies.

If this happens again, call a few Yorkie show breeders and ask them for advise..some have even taken up collections for Yorkie owners in need...never hurts to ask.
Do you midn me asking what state you live in..?
Best wishes
