Jazzie is 8-1/2 years old. She is my first Yorkie. Now that she is entering the early stages of her Golden Years we decided to start having her blood tested every 6 months. We plan on adding X-Rays to her check up when she turns 10.

Ok, here's Question #1.
Is there any age related illness that can be avoided or delayed with careful monitoring, vitamins, supplements, etc?

Question #2
What type of illness it typically associated with growing older?

Any advise or information on caring for a Yorkie in their Golden Years will be very appreciated.
