Ok here are the facts Yorkies have something like prox 28 genetic diseases. But most are very rare. However Luxating Patella is not rare at all. I would want to see her health history, and if she has been diagnosed with LP. Has general blood work been normal? If so has a BATS been done. Those would be my top two concerns. BATS measures liver function and it points to the health of the liver.
