I'm not sure exactly how common it is, but I wouldn't say it's that common. However, I've personally seen three dogs (2 yorkies and 1 japanese chin) that had this and had surgery for it and are doing well today. One of the yorkies had surgery at Gulf Coast in Houston, TX and the other two dogs had surgery at Texas A&M University.
