I would love to have 1 more but I have learned the hard way a nightmare can be just around the corned...not to mention the medical expense! My little girl Cricket jumped off of my bed at 7 months breaking her front right leg...it broke her radius and ulna completely in two. She had to have surgery by an orthopedic specialist. They put in a metal plate and five tiny screws to save her leg. The emergency room visit was over $600 and the surgery nine days later...was $2,200.00...of course there were several visits after that to remove her cast, sutures, and film retakes to check her leg....she is completely healed but we are now well over $3000.00 for her leg alone. I have since found out Cricket has grade 2 luxating patellas.....I contacted Dr. Bertrands office to find out what the cost is to fix this ....when the time is right we are looking at $1500 per leg. If I really love my little girl and give her the best life I will have to pass on another Yorkie. Of course I have my little Paxton and he so far has only had poop issues...thank goodness! His knees are perfect and no liver shunt issues or heart issues either! Boy I had no idea how expensive these pups can be
Anyone looking to get a Yorkie really needs to do their homework.....don't buy from a pet store....BYB or anyone U.S.D.A. Certified!!!!
