My first Yorkie, Spencer had CT...he did not have surgery and lived just short of 12 years. The vet suggested weight control as the first option, beings he was overweight, this helped a great deal. How big is Hershey? Maybe this is an option for you as well. Also never, ever put a collar on him, a halter is best.
I would definately get more then one opinion on surgery, this is a big step and may not give you the results you hoped for, read everything you can about the procedure so you and your vets can come up with a reasonable answer. Good luck, welcome to Yorkie Talk and I do hope you stick around and keep us updated on Hershery's progress.
