I just had almost the exact same situation. The only difference is my vet didn't go through with the dental cleaning bc my Piper became so distressed when they went to sedate her that she turned blue. Also my Piper makes a honking noise when her anxiety levels are very high....so we knew there was a possibility of this diagnosis. We had a surgical consult today where he suggested medical therapy management with hydrocodone syrup as needed in stressful situations, weight management (she's not overweight but just making sure she doesn't get that way) and yearly monitoring. He said eventually she will have to have surgery but that's something you want to do when they're older....I'm so freaked out and worried
how old is your yorkie, did your vet mention future surgeries, and is she feeling better now?
