I contacted the "specialist" because I was intrigued. Contained within and without edit (though things did move when pasted) are the emails that I sent/received. This information is very interesting and I was amazed how I have heard many of the same things here from our respected members. Dr. Lopate was kind enough to take her time to respond to "us" here, and I am very grateful! Thank You!

Hello,
My name is Lynzy and I belong to an Online community called Yorkietalk.com. It is a large community/forum made up of people from every single walk of life there is, from all over the world.

The "regulars" within this community consist of people who genuinely care
about pups and we routinely review many professionals, breeders, vets,
etc....the importance of this is twofold, it helps people who don't know
things to be led in the right direction, it also helps to educate many
people. If you google anything Yorkie you will see that often times it will
lead you right to the Yorkietalk.com community.

Recently, there has been a thread which I will attach that involves a very
small (we don't use the marketing term teacup) Yorkie having become
pregnant.

According to the Original Poster he/she consulted with you and now links to your bio have been posted. I am not asking you to discuss this particular pup (that I'm not sure even came to you for certain) but wonder if you could shed some light on the information within. Please read through the thread and weed through the important posts regarding this information and let me know your thoughts. Could you, with the information given tell us if the information provided is accurate? Why would proceeding with a delivery/csection be safer than an emergency spay? Under what circumstances is this true?

As someone who advocates for pups and regularly advises people to seek a specialist I want to be certain the information within this thread is
accurate or explained so that other people who read it are not misguided and that we can help others in the future.

I thank you in advance for any enlightening information you can provide!
Thank You,
Lynzy Greene
