Hi. I have a 7 year old, Zeus, diagnosed with MVD at 10 months. He is doing great. He's healthy and happy. Once everything was diagnosed and we figured out what was the best course, the care and cost hasn't been too bad. Zeus is on a prescription diet, but yorkies are small
, and he takes Denosyl SD4 daily. He is managed very well on this regimen, and it's really very simple. He doesn't require a lot of "special" care. He plays and does everything my other yorkies do. I do have bloodwork run annually, just to see where he is, but that's about it. Good luck, Juliet
