Small breeds like Yorkies have very sensitive tummies. Table food, especially those items that are high in fat like steak, pork chops, bacon, etc. can cause a condition called pancreatitis.

The pancreas helps dogs (and us) to digest fats by releasing special enzymes to break down the fats. If a dog gets a high-fat meal, the pancreas kicks into overdrive and releases too many of these enzymes. These chemicals leak out of the pancreas and start to "digest" the surrounding organs and tissues! This makes the dog very sick . . . there is usually vomiting and diarrhea but sometimes the first thing you'll notice will be just a general lethargy and painful tummy up near the ribcage. Bloodwork can help determine if your dog has this problem or merely a bad case of "garbage gut."

Dogs can and do die from pancreatitis . . . it's better to avoid bad table food and feed the dog a good quality dog food than to risk this serious illness. You can give your dog cooked carrots (or raw), green beans, and other veggies (no onions, though!) from your meals.

QUIT with the table food! 1. she is still a puppy & 2. dogs are not meant to eat all the spices & fat in table food. Get her on a good quality puppy food. Iams, Eukanuba, Nutro(it's what my dog eats) If you must feed her some human food, steamed plain rice, boil plain chicken, steamed veggies like carrots.
This is serious you can give her Pancreatist is very painful & can kill her. Take to the vet if this last more than a day or 2 they dehydrate quickly just like a baby.

She is or isn't vomiting nor had diarrhea? SO how is she acting sick? Just lethargic? Could be caused from table scraps or a number of other reasons.

>>she eats table food?

Bad idea. People food tends to be way too spicy or salty for little critters' systems. And sometimes will actually clog them up.

Get her on dog food.

Oh yes, does she have trouble with hairballs? Sometimes that will cause what you're seeing.

Should not feed table food. EVER.
Why do you think she is sick if she is not vomiting or having diarrhea?

See if she is painful in here abdomen. When you push it does she grunt , whence, or is it very firm? If so, see your vet, because this breed is very prone to Pancreatitis. They get this from eating improper things, so quit feeding people food.

Table food is the worst thing you can give your dog.
Would you give your family dog food?
