Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing the vet was talking about. She would have to be put under full anesthesia to have the pin removed now, since it would require a small incision. If it pops out on its own, he would just pull it out the rest of the way, with *probably* no incision required. I'm hoping that someone who had this happen to their Yorkie will chime in. If not, our dear Bella will be the pioneer.
