Your pup would not have to be 5 pounds to have surgery.
The best place to get it done, in my opinion, is University of Tennessee and they deal with tiny Yorkies there often. Dr. Tobias was the first to do this surgery. Hopefully it's not needed though. |
Do you consider circling as if they were walking sideways and appear to back up and walk sideways again.
Davey had bordetella 5/15, 4/28 distemper-hepatitis CAV-2 canine parvovirus parainfluenza, 5/17 and 6/06 DHLP-P-C, He has been hospitalized and his BAT ON 6-17 FASTING WAS 13.4, POST WAS 95.9
He also has been on albon, amoxicillin, Baytril 2 doses 9mg IV, Flagyl x 1 dose before these test, along with interceptor, and frontline on 6/03. I am hoping his test were elevated due to the meds, and vaccines. while he was in hospital his ALK-719, ALT-641, AMYL-278, NH3-38, HE HAD ELEVATED wbc 22.62, 20.85.
