I should point out that the 'MVD' I was referring to is Mitral Valve Disease, a heart condition, not microvascular dysplasia. As I said before, I'm no expert but am trying to expand my knowledge as my Yorkies are everything to me. Thanks to all for your input. I learn more here than from my vet. I just recently switched vets (1 year ago) because of concerns I had over my prior vet's vaccination protocol, and she was a Yorkie breeder herself. It seems to me that we all have to be informed and pro-active with our dogs' health. Veterinary care is a fast evolving science and it seems now that most everything is not as it was just a few years ago. YorkieTalk is a great resource for all concerned Yorkie owners and breeders and, while I don't agree with everything posted on the various forums, it certainly opens my eyes to do my own research. Thanks to you all.
