It could be that she just likes to chew and eat random things like lots of dogs. It could also be pica (a craving for non-food items) which is a symptom of a medical problem.

If the vet is saying her liver is small, then she needs to be assessed for liver disease which is very common in Yorkies. Your vet can run some bloodwork, but if they think a sonogram is indicated, then she needs to go to a specialty hospital as soon as possible to have one.

A skinny Yorkie who is displaying pica-like behavior (assuming there are no parasites) and whose vet thinks the liver is in question needs diagnostic testing.
