Being sorry for her and petting her when she's very scared won't help her but just being there for her to distract her a bit with a bit of a treat or tossing a ball will work help redirect her energy toward the new thing instead of her fear of what's going to happen.

She sounds like nobody took a lot of care with her little teeth to brush them and such so she probably lived with someone who wasn't too dog- or Yorkie-savvy, as Yorkies often have very poor dentition, get gum disease and caries so easy. They also can have quite a few stomach problems and rich, greasy foods can really cause them issues if they are one of those types. For 5 years Tibbe wasn't but now he does have an iffy tummy and has to eat prescription food.

Again, thank you for helping this little lady and I know one day soon she will grow into your very best friend.

She was Rescue dog that came from a Puppymill. So of course she wasn't taken care of.
