I have had yorkies so I know they have teeth issues my first yorky got all his teeth pulled at 14 yrs old and he lived til 18 but myles seems different
I dont know if I should get his teeth pulled now. It is bothering me he has gone for a cleaning and gone under around 5 years ago but it is to the poine now he tries to bark and he sneezes i think b/c his mouth is bothering him if u hit his mouth on accident he is frightened even if u go to touch there
My question to u all is do i put him under to get his teeth done or do i leave him alone? The vet said if his blood showed infection definitely but his blood work is fine so far. I just feel bad for him sometimes b/c I know my other yorky lived 4 more years after it was done but I dont know if myles is as strong as my first yorky was

any feedback will help me out from owners of senior yorkies!!!!

thanks soo much

My Lizzie is going on 15 yrs old. I have had her teeth cleaned. As long as the blood work shows there isn't a problem and the Vet has checked him over really good, I don't see a reason why he shouldn't it done.
If his teeth are hurting him I would most certainly have it checked out.
