Thanks! Do you have any experience with the leg hike? I have read some very scary online yorkie shops saying that they send them out neutered at 12 weeks GUARANTEED NOT TO HIKE THEIR LEGS!

He will have a blood test.....giving your vet insight if there are any problems. It is an initial indication, however, a Bile Acid test is what will tell you if there is Liver Shunt.

For your pup wait!!!!!
