Would breeding have anything to do with GI problems?? She's always had a hard time with digestion and has had bacterial GI problems in the past.

i don't think stomach issues have anything to do with breeding, but i had to ask.
Yorkies have pretty delicate digestive systems no matter where they came from. They are especially prone to pancreatitis.

What are you feeding her? If it's raw it could account for her bacterial GI problems. Going forward, you might want to discuss a different diet with your vet, prescription or even homecooking.
