I would get bats done and then go from there. Most likely liver related as yorkies are 38% more likely than any other breed to have liver disease

What percentage of protein have you been feeding? What Food?

You need to have your baby on low protein for sure now after having a urate stone.

Some liver dogs only have one symptom they do not have to have all of them and stones is one of the symptoms of liver disease especially urate stones

I have noticed the boy yorkies tend to get the stones though as there was another one I helped and he was 4 and only symptom he had was stones and he had multiple shunts so it can happen.

Let us know the bat results and we can help you
