I'm so sorry to hear that. How common is it in yorkies? One website I just read Hip Dysplasia in Dogs: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention said it's mostly common in large and giant breeds and fairly rare in small breeds, yet I see it on YT quite often. I need to read more. I don't think that is the case with Uni, as she is still very active, jumps and runs like normal.
