| My Sonia's Limping paw? Vet said it's fine? My fiance and i noticed my baby was limping and i asked for your advice. You told me to get it checked out and i did "knowing my pockets will be sucked dry!" I dont care cuz my baby is not right? The vet checked her out and said she cant feel anything visibly wrong? She said she would have to get X-rays which cost about $80.00 bucks for the first one's. (My fiance was not pleased) Pissed was more like it. I offered to pay but him being the man and him buying her for me he sucked it in!! The vet took the x-rays and they showed nothing wrong with her but she is still limping? Her back leg came back stiff from them holding her down and my fiance got pissed! He made a scene telling the vet she crippled the dog! Then yelled at me for not saying anything? Um he said it all for me? Anyways, they gave us some muscle relaxers for her and she had a little ear infection which i noticed when she was scratching. We payed a good $160.00 for her check up. She still is limping and it doesnt seem to bother her. Is this a Yorkie thing?? My fiance said to me i should have told him that Yorkie's have lots of problems. Duh i talked to you for an hour while you were playing XBOX!!! Gosh!!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | But on the more "helpful" side... Sometimes ligament problems don't show up in X-rays right away. It could be anything from a simple strain to a luxating patella. The anti-inflammatories should make the limping go away, but it is quite likely to return if there is a more serious problem. If the limping returns, you will need more vet care and possibly surgery. In the meantime, you could discuss the problem with your breeder. Was there a health guarantee?

Seriously, regardless of the current injury, please try to work with the kids to establish rules around the pup. Yorkies aren't built to take a pounding from kids. Many rescue operations will not give Yorkies to families with kids. That's not to say it can't be done succesfully, but the kids have to know to be careful around the dog. And if the kids are too young, the dog should not be left alone with them. Good luck. You sound like a great Yorkie Mom who will work it out.

| First of all: Your fiance sounds like an ass****. Sorry but I think that you already know it, bu the way you describe him. Second of all: Your kids are very young, maybe too young for such a small dog to be around. From what you said, they step on your puppy ,all the time!!! Third of all: I went to the vet on monday, BC Lilo is limping ,and the visit with xrays and meds costed me over $300, so $160 is not bad at all!!! Now she is going to have surgery that will cost few thousand $!!! If you can't afford for your puppys vet bills, than maybe better idea will be to find her new home? JMHO
