Yorkies will vomit yellow bile if they're tummies get empty for too long.

I would try him with a bit of Gerber's Stage 2 chicken baby food mixed with plain white rice. You could also offer him some cottage cheese. Be careful with any other cheeses, they can be too rich and may cause pancreatitis...

Is he taking Lactulose for his Liver Shunt? Also with LS dogs, occassionally they need to go on a course of antibiotics to help control the bacteria in their systems... along with Lactulose, which will also help him to have a BM. You can also control any LS symptoms from getting too much protein with the Lactulose.

Do you have Nutrical on hand? I'd try him with some of that or Karo or pancake syrup....

Also it can help to put an LS dog on probiotics and digestive enzymes to help them digest their food. (like Nature's Farmacy's Dogzymes)

I'm worried too something may have him blocked... is his tummy getting bloated?
