I would consider a second opinion. As for health, if you take care of it all now, you'll be glad later. When we got Bailey he had worms, parasites and mange. Natalie just about freaked out. But we spend a month doing everything the doctor said and now he's just one happy little boy. We couldn't be more pleased.

I do have paperwork from the breeder showing the dewormer and vaccines Cassie had along with the dates. She did not have a rabies vaccine. Just to clarify, I did not have to insist on bloodwork. I wanted it and they would have done bloodwork before spaying so actually the vet and I agreed. The vet does seem to understand small dogs. Cassie is the 7th Yorkie I've had at that vet. I really have no complaints except financial but I've researched other vets in this area and they are comparable. These vets worked with me through Lucky's heart condition and kept him alive longer than his heart wanted to. They worked with us during the horrible time we had with King who had many congenital problems eventually only living to 3 years of age (he was from a different evil breeder). They worked with us during Ziggy's first scary months and his eventual liver shunt diagnosis. They referred me to the wonderful specialty vet surgury center where they fixed Ziggy's liver shunt for good. They saw us through many issues during Alice's 13 years. So I do trust them. I wish we could wait for the spay but we want it done before Cassie goes into heat. I really appreciate your concerns and opinions. That's why I am posting here, to get opinions and knowledge. :)
