She has recommended a Rhinoscopy which is about $1500.00 at a Vet specialty facility. Does anyone out there have any experience having this done with their Yorkie? Not only is it expensive, but Piper has had 3 surgeries in 3 yrs., liver shunt surgery and 2 cystotomies. I just don't want to but my dog through this if the procedure will cause her a lot of suffering. Thank you for any help. Pipermom

yes my late Lizzie had horrible problems with her sinus. I had thsi procedure done on her. I will see if I can find my posts from back then.
Yes it is expensive, but it was worth it to me to have it done. She also had a Head CT Scan done at the same time as well.
