Lacy also has Luxating patellas (common to toy breeds) which may cost me $1500 for surgery one day. Many yorkies end up having liver shunt unfortunately - hundreds - thousands of dollars to do surgery on. Broken bones/accidents - hundreds to thousands of dollars. Yorkies commonly need teeth cleaned by a vet - a few hundred dollars. So it's always good to make sure you have money in case something arises and you owe large vet bills.
Good Luck  |
Dittos to everything MyFairLacy wrote. Franklin just came down with Parvo and that's costing us about $600 dollars to treat.
