Try feeding it some ground wild meat like deer or moose. The same thing happened to a neighbors dog. After a week of wild meat he started eating his kibble again.

Try feeding tripe. You can get it in a can at a pet food store. Open it up outside as the smell is hard to take. When my dog won't eat or is having stomach problems I always try the tripe first

Rice and chicken always worked good for our dogs when they felt ill. Cottage cheese works good to, both are easy on the stomach. Is your Yorkie drinking excessively? If so that's not a good sign and should let the vet know about that.

Sorry about your dog, 6 years is young.

My yorkie is 12 years old today
He refused to eat. I hand feed him. He will eat then
Get his teeth checked asap. If he has a sore tooth, he may stop eating. Mine did

Max took sick about a month ago, came out of nowhere,he was restless then he couldn't walk or lift his head or control his bowels. long story short we took him to the vet and they were not sure what was happening but gave us a broad spectrum antibiotic. while it he was taking the meds we fed him beef and chicken soup base through a syringe. which fluids, salts and some energy back to him. in the end the meds worked and he pulled through. hes 12-13 as well

After spending a good chunk of money and finding nothing wrong, now trying different advise from the posts on this site and trying different foods she is starting to eat. We will see in time if a variety of different foods from chicken to dog food steak ect is helping . Thanks for the advice.
