There is nothing that can equal what a vet would be able to do for him, or find out... Keep in mind YOUR VET WILL WORK WITH YOU! If you have to make them payments, explain that to them. 90% of vets are more concerned about the care of the animal, than getting their money that second.

1. how long since he's pooped? Does he have any poo stuck to his butt hair that might be "clogging up the works"? What was the consistency of the last poop? Sometimes Yorkies will get a little obstruction, a hard poo with soft poo behind it that they can not get out without help, and it will make them sick as you described.

2. number one most important thing, keep him hydrated and keep up his sugar. The more liquid he takes in, the easier it will be to help him pass his poo if that is the issue. I reccomend pedialyte, syringe it into his mouth if he won't drink. At this point he'd need about 12 cc's in an hour.

if he doesn't have a poo obstruction, then you've got a more serious problem I'm afraid you can't fix at home...you're going to have to bite the bullet and get him seen by his vet ASAP, and just explain the financial situation to him. If he won't work with you, go to the next vet who will. Once he gets dehydrated and sugar gets too low he will go into a ketatonic state where his body tells him he's not hungry, and he won't eat...then you're looking at hospitialization. good luck and keep us posted!
