Thanks for the reply kjc,
I had written a reply to you above as an edit shortly after I finished, then none of it was saved as there's a wrong protocol of no more edits after 5 minutes, so my reply to you never got put there. Hence I now have to do another post and am now not in a mood to write as much...
Anyway, I would bet everything I own that I would be in the upper 5% bracket of owners who asked many questions to their vets prior to making a big decision, like surgery. I asked every conceivable question I could think of. I went in there with a w-r-i-t-t-e-n list of questions. I referenced magazines, books, forums, videos, a pay-for-advice online vet service, other vets and other yorkie owners. I went in well prepared. I did spend approx. $200 in blood work and tests as well.
Thank you for your advice as I feel the more you know about the vet and their experience, etc, the better it is to know if that's the vet you want working on your yorkie or if it's better to go elsewhere.
May your babies always be well, and live a long healthy and happy life!
Matthias
