Yorkie Health

Health problems frequently observed in the Yorkshire Terrier include bronchitis, lymphangiectasia, portosystemic shunt, cataracts, and keratitis sicca. Furthermore, Yorkies frequently possess a delicate digestive tract, with vomiting or diarrhea caused by use of meals outdoors of the regular diet. The relatively small size the Yorkshire Terrier implies that it always includes a poor tolerance for anesthesia. Furthermore, a toy dog like the Yorkie is more prone to be hurt by falls, other dogs and owner clumsiness. Injection responses (inflammation or hair thinning to begin of the injection) can happen. Additionally they've already skin allergic reactions.

The life time of the healthy Yorkie is 17-two decades. Undersized Yorkies (3 pounds or less) have a shorter life time, because they are especially vulnerable to health issues for example chronic diarrhea and vomiting are much more responsive to anesthesia and therefore are easier hurt.
