Glad to hear the great news about Lil' Spike!
My two babies, while adults, lost their mother yorkie from a common surgery, tooth removal, and never gained consciousness from the anesthesia.
Another yorkie from the same breeder had to have a yorkie go under anesthesia and that dog too died. Whenever I hear of a yorkie needing anesthesia, it scares me something bad now. My lil' boy(6 years) may need some teeth cleaning and a few baby teeth removed and he may have to go under anesthesia as well. That thought scares me.
Kudos for lil' Spike!!!
