I am so sorry. What a shock...what did the vet have to say? It certainly does sound, unfortunately, like a malpractice...investigating needs to be done on your end. Did you sign anything that releases the doctor from a suit against him in that case? What did your little Yorkie weigh when she went in?

Probably the very best thing you can do is search for another Yorky who will ease the loss. It doesn't mean you loved your other any less but a distraction will help you move on.
