I wrote an email to her breeder on the advice of the vet. It seems that she was predisposed to this condition since there was no major trauma. I told the breeder all about her fast downward spiral and I wanted to know if any of her yorkies have had spinal problems, because the vets are leaning towards this being degenerative disc disease which is genetic.
She replied that she was sorry and that it's hard when our pets are sick. She said none of her yorkies to her knowledge have any spinal issues. Then she offered me a 7 year old yorkie who is being retired from breeding, to compensate for my loss. I don't even know what to think. I have not LOST Layla. She can't be just REPLACED. I am so upset and maybe I just took it the wrong way but oh my gosh I just need to hold out hope that Layla will be okay.
