Interesting.....the concern in my mind is that syringeomyelia often presents with other neurological issues which sadly are common in yorkies, too.
I actually have a foster who has COMS which is discussed here on this link:

I also hope it is not that....what I will say is she will probably need a MRI to diagnose it if it is neurological although a neurologist will usually have a clue about what it is without testing.
I will definitely keep Keeva in my thoughts .. and you as well. It is so hard to have a pup with medical issues especially without a diagnosis. Hopefully you will know soon.
Feel free to message me any time if I can be of any help. I am also going to send you a message with my email. My little foster is on three meds but she runs and plays with the other pups and is a sweet little girlie.
