Can anyone name anything that is prone to the small ones exclusively? I doubt it.
I am a little tired and annoyed at hearing oh their subject to all kinds of sicknesses, when someone comes on this site asking about a small one.
Just had to say that. |
As a matter of fact yes I can name something, hypoglycemia. Name me one bigger size yorkie that suffers from hypoglycemia.
Not all tinies are unhealthy but the percentage of healthy ones under 4 lbs is smaller compared to over 4lbs. That's not including accidents such as falling or getting stepped on. A friend of mine lost her tiny when her husband stepped on him and he died instantly. That wouldn't happen with a bigger dog.
It may make you angry but it's the truth. The people who are warning of the dangers of tinies are doing it so the buyer can go in with their eyes wide open since so many of us have heard the horrors afterwards.
