Pat, Toto also had the little "bumpy" places along her incision. She was spayed and had her teeth removal last March and she still has a couple of the bumps but they are gradually going away! I panicked when I first discovered them but Dr. Lucy assured me it was OK and not out of the ordinary! That woman has the patience of Job!!!

Snoodles is a cutie!! Isn't it amazing how quickly they change!?

Thank you so much for answering. I was so worried about those bumps. I was ready to change Vets. I thought what an awful thing to have the rest of her life. I wonder what causes them? It feels almost like metal stitches. So glad they will eventually go away!
No one has answered my question about the hair in the corner of the eyes. I'm really ready to just keep them clipped. Do you comb them down or up? It seems like they could really cause trouble for her eyes.
Again, thanks for re-assuring me about those bumps. Everytime I rub her belly, I feel so bad for her. Pat

bettyeanne · 11-11-2004, 12:20 PM

Pat, I believe the little bumps are probably inside stitches which will eventually dissolve. It's taking Toto's quite a while too!
The hair under the eyes? The hair at the very outside and at the edge of the eye ... I brush Toto's down to blend with her beard. The hair at the outside and above the eye ... I brush up and fasten in with the topknot hair. You have to be very careful when clipping the hair near the eyes ... it gets "prickly" and can cause eye infections. There are some good grooming tips and instructions at the : ytca site, complete with diagrams [Babbie posted the link below]. If you go to the site, check out the dog shows held in Florida in June. My Toto's dad, Wyatt won Best of Breed! We were very proud of him! His name is: Tyava’s Wyatt Earp.

Last time Higgins was groomed, she shaved the hair between his eyes and now the eye goobers are back. Dang! So I'm letting it grow out. He looks a little tacky, but then he has always looked disheveled......sigh......at least he smells good after a bath.

DANG!!! What's with groomers and shaving our babies noses??!! The last time I talked with Ava [our breeder] and we were catching up on everything, I mentioned Toto's "nose shaving" and she was mortified!!! Said she couldn't imagine why someone would do such a thing to a Yorkie!! Also cautioned me about the eye infections that this could cause. Keep an eye on Higgins ... poor baby, don't want him to get an infection! Toto had watery eyes, etc. while we waited for hers to grow out! I love the little "disheveled" look of little boy yorkies!! Give him a puppy kiss from us!!

Hi what a cutie pie. my missy wears clothes also. sometimes i buy them on ebay. i believe they grow to a year old. I have to babies missy and bobo. missy weighs 5.5 and bobo is 3.5lbs. i use a very small rubber band on their top knot then i put the bow on which is on another rubber band.

I have a baby girl too and I tried so many different kinds too before I found out where my pet grooming store get theirs. They get it at www.pededge.com ......look under grooming and you will see there are all different kinds of bows and they are already tied with tiny rubber bands and it's much easier to put on.!!

Am going to the web site above and see what I can learn! Thanks Again All! Pat P.S. Where is the site? Looked above and couldn't find it! Thanks Again
