Thanks. Brandi was diagnosed later in life at 12 yrs old (she will be 13 in July) so surgery for her would definitely be a last resort option. The vet was concerned about her age and wanted to stick with this treatment plan for now. I also read that yorkies that are diagnosed later in life as Brandi was have an excellent chance of living a long normal life just by being treated medically.
Because she is a senior, she has regular wellness checkups every 6 months anyway along with any bloodwook such as bile acid test. |
