Default My Heart is breaking- Pancreatitis help needed

This is my first post. I have owned and raised yorkies for over 35 years....this morning I woke to finding
puddles of vomit on the bed. My Sophie is 2 years old,
and continued to vomit for 20 minutes, when I rushed her
directly to the Vet.
The vet on call, who is not the vet I use....informed me
she was dehydrated and did a series of blood work on her.
She called later and spoke to me about finding a significant
amount of "fat" in her blood..along with elevated liver
enzymes. Yesterday and last night, I was at hospital,
with two terminal parents, however my husband
said she was perfectly normal acting and eating and drinking. The first sign of trouble was this morning.
The vet informed me that liver shot was very
common in Yorkies ....I have never heard this before.
Sophie remains in hospital on I.V ...tomorrow the vet
will determine if she needs more extensive liver testing.
I am feeling a little uncomfortable with this vets,
findings, and would feel so much better if my regular
vet was here for consultation...He will return on Wednesday.......
When I asked this vet if this could be a "fatal
problem" she replied " I wish I could say no".
I haven't stopped crying all day....If anyone has anything
to offer in way of help, guidance, etc, I would much appreciate .
I find it very baffling, how she was given such a
wonderful bill of health her last vet visit, a few months ago.

Losing two parents has been and will be a major loss in my life, to loose my best friend too, will be too much
to bare.

Thanks for listening.....
