I feel very fortunate that she hasn't had any serious health problems, not to say she could develop one in the future...she does have LP in both her legs..with her right leg being the worst..but it hasn't bothered her yet.
Anyway...back to LS testing... When I buy my next yorkie I want the breeder I buy from to have tested all her dogs for LS to make sure they are clear before breeding. I'm not sure at this time if I will insist that the puppy I buy be bile acid tested or not before I bring it home...I'm thinking that I will probably want it to be though. In any case, I would definitely have a full blood workup done and bile acid testing done before my puppy is spayed. |
We were fortunate enough to get a 72 hour health guarantee
against life threatening diseases only and we would have had a full 24 hours to report any life threatening problems to the breeder after the exam.
How generous.
I think she was just one of those who didn't know any better.
