Does he know about the things yorkies are prone to ? If this were my dog I would see a neurologist ASAP.
Not in that order. I would not let your regular vet do neck X-Ray as they can kill him if they are not familiar with AAI , when they stretch his neck for X-Ray. You just need to get him to a neurologist immediately, I'm talking like last week.
