Does he know about the things yorkies are prone to ? If this were my dog I would see a neurologist ASAP.
deb they need to rule out the liver shunt first as these are all signs of liver shunt so once that is ruled out then I agree neurological testing needs to be done but first step is scintigraphy as those bats are high and my guess is liver shunt causing all the symptoms
