I know a lot of you are experienced in this area or know a lot about vwd.
I was just contacted today by my friend who has two yorkies she was taking in to get spayed/neuter. I told her always to have the presurgical blood work done before the surgery. The girl did fine, blood work was normal, she came out of the surgery nicely.
The male however didn't make it to surgery. The vet was taking the bloodwork and the male died just from that. Just from taking blood and it wasn't a lot of blood he took either. They were able to revive him but they have no clue what happened. He is a perfectly normal healthy yorkie even at a great weight. He does have a hernia that they were going to remove but I don't think that is relevant.
The first thing that popped into my head was vwd. I remember reading some where something similar happened and it was Vwd.
Am I completely off base or should I send her some information on vwd so her vet can look into it?
I know vwd is common in several breeds of dogs but I have just never heard of it being in a yorkie.
So please if anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be, I would appreciate it very much!!
