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?

Surgery for ct is still experimental and I would not do it. I would try medicine first.
