I am just throwing this out there since GME is fairly common in yorkies and if you are having other symptoms it could be more than her eyes. I wish nothing but the best for your Pixie and your husband.
Hi there...no, other than bumping into things a lil bit on her right side and becoming a bit disorientated at night...I haven't noticed anything else..she's still eating & drinking normally...trotting around quite happily during the day and even getting quite playful with her toys..although she doesn't always see where they land when you throw them! she did seem to lose her confidence a bit, but the last few days she seems more like her usual self which is good to see.
I'm sorry about your little Brooke....what happened with her? its so scary when our babies get sick..I would rather it was myself that was ill.
