| Routine appointment turns bad :( We took Colby for his last set of shots and a routine appointment to have him checked out so he could be neutered. They said he has not gained any weight since we got him 4 months ago. She then examined him and said that his kidney were smaller than what they were supposed to be, so she is thinking a shunt or something. We left him there so they could run some test. We returned later to get him and they said we should know something Monday. I will keep you guys updated on any results. I pray he is okay.

| So sorry to hear. I hope it is nothing too serious and that whatever is wrong can be fixed quickly for the little guy.

| Contact your breeder immediately with this unfortunate news....just so she will know she may have an issue she will be facing. I hope this is not a problem but if it is, you shouldnt be facing it without the breeder, if it is a congenital/genetic issue. |

| I am going too, but what is so bad is all 4 of mine are from the same breeder my blue Angel and Colby are from the same mom and dad and Paisley and Toby all have the same dad as Angel and Colby but different Moms, so they all could be affected. I do not know what I would do if one were sick with something let alone all 4. From what my breeder told me after I got them the moms are also sisters, so it turns out all their moms are related and they all have the same dad.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I will keep Colby in my prayers. My Dixie had congenital kidney failure at 7 months of age. I had only had her 5 weeks. My Pixie was from the same breeder and related to her and she was fine. The specialist I saw said it was just a freak thing and not something the breeder could have prevented. I agree let the breeder know as soon as possible. My breeder was great through it all. Hopefully he is just a little peanut.

| Praying for the best... I too don't think a congenital issue would occur in all related pups, at least not the same issue. A small liver is usually what's associated with Liver Shunt, not small kidneys. Also, he's over a year old now isn't he? I wouldn't expect him to be putting on too much weight after the puppy growth stages... after all, he is a Yorkie. Maybe a little more weight after he's neutered, but not all that much.

| Poor little sweet Colby! I just hate hate hate hearing one of these little guys is not up to snuff. Here's hoping if the kidneys are small, they can devise some treatment regimen that will help him deal with less function from them in the form of diet, meds, etc. I'll be praying for Colby. Please keep us posted about what the vets find out and are going to do for him. Here's {{{hugs}}} to Colby. Try not to worry until and if you have to, though I know that's far easier said than done!

| Saying a prayer Has Colby been displaying any odd behavior, something you might not have thought of. Since this wasnt a sick visit to the vets, maybe you might think of something to help them help Colby. Have you noticed that he has he been drinking more or urinating more?
