If your yorky is due to be spayed or neutered soon maybe you can wait till then, if you want it done now then talk to your vet openly. |
its a 10 gage needle actually. 18 gague is the size of a regular ear piercing which isn't big at all. 10 gauge is the size of a grain of rice. i should know, i have an 8 gauge in my ear lobe
hehehe its enough to see clear thru to the other side
