I wouldn't spend the money to find out why she died. I would save my money plus some, and get another - larger, heathier, little Yorkie.

It is truly sad that you lost your little pup, and I'm sure it is heartbreaking.

I doubt she passed away from anything that could have been helped. She was oh- so tiny - and seizures are often serious and lifethreatening - plus a vet can't tell from a checkup that a pup is going to have a seizure in the future.

I know there are a lot of healthy "tiny little Yorkies" --- but all things equal, Yorkies were never meant to be that small - and even though a lot of people don't like to admit it - they do come with many more congenital defects and certainly can't tolerate many diseases and problems that larger Yorkies can.

My vet told me this - He said, "Tiny Yorkies have a lot of health problems - I know this for a fact - I'm the one who sees them when they're sick - I'm a vet."

And under 2 pounds - is especially tiny.

Again - I am very sorry that you lost your pup. I'm sure it was devastating.
