This was a concern for me....praying your vet is WELL educated in the care of small animals, but especially Yorkies, as there are significant differences in treatments and procedures and tolerances in Yorkies and other small dogs. How many Yorkies does this vet care for during a year? But above and beyond that, my mind goes back to the simple xray comment. Perhaps he just meant to say US, rather than xray.
