Just an FYI, since your Yorkie is so tiny, any time he has bloodwork he will most likely have it taken from his jugular vein. His veins are as thin as thread and most puppies struggle if a leg is being held. It is much safer and less painful to do one stick in the neck than to struggle and perhaps have to try several times to draw blood from the leg.

Please don't let that stop you from getting a bile acids test or any other test your vet recommends done. It is very important to find out what is causing his symptoms.
