my mum has a yorkie, i think she is about 10 or 11 now. she has already had 1 op on her back leg last year, and she suffers with very bad arthritis. She is showing signs of slowing down. She has always been walked twice a day, but she is now refusing to go for her early a.m walk or if its raining. She has lost a few ozs recently too. I hope she is not wearing down. Has anyone got an old yorkie, if so how old? Their life expectancy is quite broad, anything from 10yrs to 20yrs....
