Glad to hear you were able to get a appointment for Muffie. Princess will be three in March, I have her teeth checked out every 6 months. I heard small breeds have teeth problems, our Vet told us if they are cleaned everyday and checked twice a year it helps when they are older. Please keep us posted! :) YT hugs to Muffie :D |
I've learned so much on YT in the last month. We didn't know 3/4 of this with our older Yorkie, Muffie. We just winged it not realizing how susceptible they are to certain things. I appreciate all the replies. We'll find out on Saturday morning when we take her to the vet. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |

My Shih Tzu will be 15 years old this summer and she had to have 18 pulled almost 2 years ago. No matter what I did for her she just had really bad teeth. She is still able to eat dry food though and is healthy other than old age just creeping up on her. So you may just need to schedule an appt to have them pulled. Good Luck and keep us posted. |
An average lifespan of 12 years? I hate to even think about it. |
The trainer told us that Muffie could possibly live up to 18 years. Is that true for Yorkies? |

I had a friend her Yorkie lived a long wonderful life of 19 years and one month. So yes, it is true, the last few months were very hard for her. Two months after Cookie passed away, Dee went to be with her. I miss them both so very much. The joy they brought eachother everyday kept them both very young. |
It's important that we keep their memories alive in our heart. |
Pat, I just had visions of many of the older Yorkies we have seen over the years who has canines only. They helped hold the tongue in the mouth..Yorkies are so prone to tooth and gum disease. Now tell me, why is it that the dog that has the worst dental problem is also the dog that can turn themselves inside out to keep mom from brushing their teeth. Where is the justice in that, I ask you. |
Amen to that! I agree with you. Our two do not like for us to put our fingers in their mouths. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! |
life span The cold hard fact is..the average life span of a Yorkie is 12 to 13 yrs. Many live alot longer, but many do not..and it kills me each time one dies. My oldest lived to 17, many diedat 13 to 14 yrs..but I have lost many at 10 to 12 yrs. |
