So I am a new Yorkie owner and have been browsing this site and reading as much as I can to learn about my little man. He is just over 9 weeks now and about 1 1/2 lbs. His Mom was about 4 1/2 lbs. and Dad was about 4 lbs. so he isn't going to get very big. My issue is in reading this site every time I turn around somebody is talking about their Yorkie taking a small fall and dying from a head injury, or the ever possible liver shunt to the tune of about $4k. We love our little guy to death, I just feel like I am constantly worried sick about him. Are these dogs really that susceptible to sickness and injury or is that just what happens to get posted on here? Are these dogs really that much more sensitive compared to other breeds? Maybe I am just focusing in on the wrong stories but it just seems to be harder to find the happy stories than it is to run across the bad ones. I guess I have just been spoiled. We have had our Cocker Spaniel for 9 years now and she has never once been to the vet for anything other than regular vaccinations. Thanks for the help and support everybody. I wouldnt trade him for the world but I am just worrying myself sick about him 24/7 and over analyzing (according to my wife) every little thing he does!
