Rachel, that statement bolded above worries me. Wild parties and yorkies do not mix well. Maybe this recent episode was not caused by something from the party; but, the fact that you are saying that you had something there that you refer to as "bad" that could have harmed them is worrisome. My suggestion is that in the future you keep Sadie and Bentley safely tucked away in a room by themselves when you decide to hold "wild" parties. My son left a half empty glass from a party one night and ended up with a hefty vet bill when one of their pups drank it....it was rum and OJ. They were lucky that the pup survived. Alcohol can kill a small pup. He learned a valuable lesson from it...thankfully they found out Bailey drank it before it was too late. He was quite "drunk" but was ok.
As for what is going on now, no clue. All I know is that it does seem like you have frequent GI problems with your pups. I can see why Cathy suggested a specialist.
