i purchased a small yorkie from a breeder near Raleigh, NC. On the day that I picked her up I stopped by my vet because the office is right on my way home. My yorkie was weighed and it was 1 lb. and 12 oz.She was too small to give the needed shots then so I made an appt to come back inabout 4 weeks. She weighed only 1 lb and 13 oz and the vet was very concerned. He did a quick blood test and the numbers were very high.He decided that she should have the bile acid test the next day so she fasted for 12 hours and I carried her to the vet along with her food . They did the test, waited 30 minutes fed her and then another blood test. The results came back in 2 days and her number were 300!! I immediately called the breeder...she said that couldn't be. We have been going 'round and round. She wants me to have another test at 6 months of age and then before she would consider a refund minus deposit I have to have a biopsy done and at my own expense. She the breeder said if she thought I didn't have money to take care of the dog she would not have sold her to me. That is not the issue ,I know the expense for the things that are routine with yorkie,ie, grooming, teeth, shots,flea,worm medication and etc. it is just something that I feel is her fault. what do you think? nellen
