I have had him xrayed and from the film all is well and it was done on Cammie as well but she's only had one litter and is now spayed. But future breeding yorkies will have all tests done before being bred to insure I have healthy dogs! Both have been bile acid tested and cleared  Of course Cammie is spayed and had only one litter of two and one is in a pet home spayed and Molly is fixing to be spayed and be in a loving pet home! I totally believe in health testing before breeding and health being of the utmost importance! I didn't get Radar until he was 18 months old and I got Cammie around the same age and I prefer showing them when they are older anyway. |
You can get eyes and heart clearances at some shows if you happen to be at one of the shows that have those, it just never works out like that for us.
We us a cardiologist in KY, its easier for us to load up and drive two hours and get the heart clearances done, we need to make a trip for our Yorkies teens that are now 12 months or older.
I would like to use the Urine Bile Acid test instead of the blood draws, has anyone here used the Urine Bile Acid testing?
