I think LP is very common. I honestly don't know about many of the other issues. But, I do agree that when you are reading it can become overwhelming. Like gemy said many are coming here for advice and that is what we are seeing being posted.

I think many Yorkies deal with what I would consider minor issues that you might be seeing too. Such as the tummy issues. I know there are numerous that have the GI issues, allergies, and IBS. However, those are very minor compared to other issues.

Don't be scared by everything that you read. Yorkies are such wonder furbabies that will steal your heart the first time you set eyes on them. Give them lots of love because they will return the favor!
