PLEASE Get that baby some GOOD food and let her free feed - it seems she's drastically lost weight and she really needs to eat and be a good safe weight - a good way to judge is you should feel th eoutline of her ribs THRU her skin.... but not bones !!!
Going from 5 to a tiny 2 lbs is dangerous and she really needs to have her weight get back where it should be....Also - there really aren't "Minature' yorkies - you sound like you have a normal sized baby and she just needs proper food and hopefully you won't lose her to starvation or illness.
I wish you luck - there are all sorts of places to get HIGH quality dog food but I would stay away from the low cost foods you see on TV....they're full of bad stuff
