My 7 year old miniature yorkie Sammy, recently went to the vets for his yearly blood work, all is good but the vet noticed that a slight limp of his leg concerned him, he tore his ACL 4 years ago and had surgery, we had x'rays done up and he noticed that he had tracheal collapse disease, an enlarged heart, stone in his bladder, also his knee cap is out of place, we went for a second opinion at Guelph University for small animals, they have told me that they dont think they should proceed with a surgery for his knee because he has a slight chance to recover from the tracheal collapse, I agree to not go through it, but we need to get rid of the large stone in his bladder but cannot put him to sleep also, I have checked on the outcome of the tube surgery down his windpipe and it's not very successful, I can live with his knee cap but the stone can block his penis and have no choice to get the surgery, I am going crazy, sick, crying and alone, I don't know what to do, I have been on the computer for hours and hours for the pass 2 days. The Vet put him on a special food for his stone, I want to not give it to him cause I want him to live for a long time, if he doesn't pass the stone he might live longer, I don't know. How long can this disease go on? I don't know what to do.....
