They told me that her physical was A ok but if I was worried they would go further and take an x-ray. I said yes to the X-ray as I am very worried for her well being. When the Vet came back she informed me that her heart looked larger than normal but not other symptoms of having a heart issue is evident.
I am not sure what to do at this point since the breeder doesn't want to do the ultrasound I may have to do one myself. I just needed to get to the bottom of this issue which I thought was a collapsed trachea but instead the X-ray showed an enlarged heart. Does anyone else have this issue or have gone through this issue? Please help! |
Please dont panic right this minute....it is NOT uncommon for vets to say a yorkies heart looks enlarged on xray....when in actuality, it is not actually enlarged. THAT could be why the breeder is not in a panic over this! I would find myself a cardiologist that is FAMILIAR with yorkies....if you are not able to do that, is there a vet school near you? A cardiologist from/at a vet school will be more informed and up to date on this. Try not to worry immediately about this, especially if she is asymptomatic....it could very easily be just fine under closer review from a specialist! Please keep us informed as we actually do worry with our members when it comes to their babies.....
