It was offered to me... Ellie was older though. Some vets just don't think young dogs need it (totally disagree).
I can only say what I would do and that is no surgery before bloodwork. And I can tell you that "I" would not use an NSAID with a BAT on a Yorkie, but that is a lot to ask of all owners and vets...
I'm being general though. Healthy dog...NSAIDs are fine. This could've been a complication from surgery for all we know. Or since a virus was involved, did it pick it up during surgery? Or? Or? It's all a guessing game right now.
