Kelly-
First, I am so sorry for your loss. My Sissy is barely 4 lbs. She is from standard size parents and her sister from the same littler is 2.5 lbs, though her brothers are over 5 lbs. Sissy has been healthy, other than contracting an upper respiratory infection shortly after she came to me and dealing with Giardia issues.
I would double-check your breeding contract. Sometimes breeders will cover their pups just till one year of age, other times the contract will cover the first year you own the pup. If yours is the latter, then you should get your money back.
With your baby being under two pounds at over a year, she would fall into the category where the really tiny ones don't tend to live long. Most times it is liver failure. If you hadn't had any bloodwork run on her, there might not be any other way to tell if she was sick. The fact that she had a seizure and then become comatose sure sounds like it was something genetic.
Hypoglycemia is quite common in Yorkies of all sizes, not just the tiny ones. I hope you find your way to another baby that can help your heart heal.
