Which is what makes me think and worry its something wrong with HIM. We are going to get a second opinion and hopefully further tests - it is such a shame as I respected my vet but feel so let down when it is most important. Thank you for your support, I need it right now.
It's hard to believe that vet didn't listen to the chest or take chest x-rays!

I know how you feel as do all the others here. It is so scary when our babies are sick. A second look by another vet will no doubt be helpful. He'll have the initial findings from your vet to go on, your history plus he will no doubt do more testing. With Yorkies, so often when one thing goes wrong, another will. When Tibbe goes on antibiotics, for instance, he then gets tummy/GI troubles and has to be treated for that! Plus, as they can't talk, some of vetting really can be hit-or-miss, trying to help them if testing isn't very conclusive. It's very frustrating and worrisome. Try to stay strong and know that almost certainly they will be able to find out a treatment program and that, with time, should help him out a lot.
