I think it is so sad to see so many Yorkies having liver shunts. My best advice when getting a Yorkie (regardless of the breeder or source), is to get insurance immediately! I was also told that a puppy has to be 6 months or older before they can even diagnose a shunt. So even if you have a clean bill of health from the vet as a puppy, they can still have a shunt (this happened to me). GET INSURANCE, please. |
