Mac always had his teeth cleaning and physical in May. I assume this condidtion started after May of 2006. If I get another Yorkie I will insist he be tested at least twice a year for albumen levels.

I am looking to adopt another Yorkie. I am working with YorkiesInc. Does anyone have any other recommendations for reliable adoption sites? I live in CT. I wish all the best to those who have sick doggies. Intestinal Lymphangiectasia |
We just lost our nine year old MacDuff to Protein losing enteropathy. It happened fast, over a few week period in December. Is this very common? We's like to adopt another too but want a good place. We are still so sad and afraid.
