The steroid should control things overnight (theoretically). The neuro may not be in right now, and if the vets agree with your regular vet, they wouldn't call the neuro in tonight (generally).

But most specialty hospitals do have ERs. You could just take her there for monitoring until the neuro can see her.

Unless this is a really weird situation with the owner being questionable, my first thougth would still be something commonly seen in Yorkies.
We were told if anything changes to take her to the ER which is 5 minutes from my house. I have the vets cell phone and we have been in contact with each other since I left his office.

The owner is the mother of the lady who first had these puppies before I took over their care. I do NOT feel that the dog was harmed in any way. I do feel that she has eaten something since she turned so fast in the short time that she was gone. My husband is there now helping to find any clues as to what she could have gotten into. So far the only thing the can see is the plants, potpourri that she had in the entry window and if a pill was on the floor they have found no evidence of it or little pieces. They are now moving the entertainment center to see what is back there in case something was there that she got into.
