Thanks to everyone for their responses. We got our new fur baby's labs today, and sadly not the greatest news. Might explain some of her lack of energy in afternoons after eating on top of adjusting to a new home.
I am somewhat devastated. Especially after losing my dear Jasmine a little over a month ago.
A few facts before the labs. The breeder gives a a two week window to make sure all is a "good fit" with her babies. If not, she gives us option of picking another pup, or getting our money back. Her vet exam showed grade I luxating patella's and retained canine baby teeth (which will need to be removed at some point). She was spayed by breeder's vet on 11/8 before we got her.

Her labs show: Glucose 116-slightly elevated, bun-23-normal, total protein 5.3, slightly low (5.5-7.5), Alt 13-slightly low (18-121), AST and ALP normal, bilirubin- normal, Bile acid pre 1.2 (0-6.9) Bile acid post 34.2 (0-14.9). My vet is on vacation till next Wednesday. These were called to me by another vet in office who has not seen Callie. I would think based on all my reading next medical step would be to get an Ultrasound.
That’s weird that the vet didn’t remove the baby teeth when she was spayed because that’s when most people have them removed. I wouldn’t keep them in to long because they can mess up the alignment of the teeth. It’s almost rare for a yorkie not to have Luxating Patella but she could go her whole life with out any problems. Have you talked to the breeder yet? Hopefully someone better educated on those blood work numbers will come a long and help.
