This is really concerning to me as males usually have such an easier time of it than the females do. Maybe he had more blood loss than usual? Is he cold? Some Yorkies do tend to get cold easier than other dogs. It could be with the surgery and trying to readjust to the changes that his body temp is not regulating as it should.
I have also noticed that some vets are still using non absorbing stitches! I haven't had an animal that needed stitches removed in years. Our vets use stitches that absorb into the body and do not need to be removed. Since they are placed more interior than regular stitches the animal is less able to chew at them. |
