With the high incidence of liver shunts in Yorkies, all vets should insist bloodwork be done before any procedure. Most of the vets I know at the very least insist that pre op bloodwork be done for the first time an animal is going under anesthesia (usually the spay or neuter) and after an animal becomes a senior at age seven.
What a scary, close call. I am so glad he survived.
