Our little Yorkie is almost 13 and just had her teeth cleaned, a few extractions, and some gum tissue tightened around her canines. She came thru just fine. Do you have a good vet?
My Sister-in-law's dog had her hernia repaied when she was spayed. He was bacl to normal in about 2 days. |
I have an excellent vet, I've known him 20 years, so I'm not nervous about him. He knows how much we love our girls!
He did say that hernias are common and I know they are.
She's had surgery, she was spayed by the byb that we rescued her from, but we haven't had her go through any surgery. I just feel like the poor thing has been through so much already!
I'm glad that your Yorkie hasn't had any complications, just what I need to hear! Thanks!
