My 11 mo old female was diagnosed with this just today. She is scheduled for surgery on Monday. My vet also said it was genetic. I had never heard of this before but started researching and found some info. My vet assures me my baby will be fine after the procedure. I hate to admit I purchased her from someone that I later found out was not a reputable breeder. She was suppose to be under 3 lbs and today weighed 4 lbs 3 oz. Was also told the breeder has a history of selling Yorkies with genetic problems. So, I have learned my lesson and will take care of any medical issues that come up. She may be bigger than what I wanted, but she is adorable. Last month I lost my 16 1/2 yr old Cassie and now to have medical problems with my new baby is very upsetting.
