I found this post and replies interesting as I rescued an older yorkie a month ago and am trying to learn as much as possible about the breed and their care requirements.
I think if all the information mentioned could be in one place for easy reference that would be the most helpful to new members. If more specific information is needed then further searches could be done by them. Maybe a list from the vets and another more specific list about yorkies developed by members and their experiences? I say that because I've already taken my dog to the vet for symptoms much less than those listed, e.g., scooting on the rug and found he had an anal gland infection. I found the answer to the problem on the forum and then knew to take him in right away. There was only three hours between when I saw him scoot and we were at the vet's office. If I had waited, I can't imagine how much more pain he would have been in.
Just a newbies view so use it (or not) as you see fit. |
