Yes, and we were definitely blessed that she didn't have any complications. She is on calcium now.

Yes, you are blessed, do you have plans to have her spayed? Reason is her age does make her a prime canidate for eclampsia. And that comes on suddenly no warning.

Tammy,

I see you live in Flower Mound. Up until 2 years ago I lived in Colleyville. If you're interested I know a wonderful vet in Dallas. He's well versed in the Yorkshire Terrier, as he owns one of my breeders dogs. Most of the breeders that are members of The Bluebonnet Yorkshire Terrier Club of Greater Dallas and Fort Worth use him as well as families who have some of their pups. He's absolutely marvelous with dogs and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.....as a matter of fact usually doesn't charge an office visit. He's in Dallas on Northwest Hiway and Jupitor. His practice is The White Rock Animal Hospital
