| Legg Perthes Princess has Legg Perthes disease. I have her scheduled for surgery,but I'm interested if anyone's yorkie has had this surgery,and if so,how long did it take for your baby to recover?Did you have to put your yorkie in a cage?(Pook would be so sad.She stays next to me ALL the time!!),or did the vet put the leg in a sling?Any info about the recovery would be helpful;I've done research about Leg Perthes,and vet has explained why it's needed and how he'll do it,but I'm interested about the recovery process.Any info is appreciated |

| Abbie had the surgery about one year ago ( actually where Kalina82 works!). Abbie came through the surgery fine. We crated her when we could not give her our absoulute attention. Now she runs, jumps, and uses that leg all the time.

| Good luck with the surgery. Conner is also scheduled for surgery on 1/21. I am taking a week off work after his surgery (luxating patella).

| Thanks! Thanks so much for all your knowledge and care! I am so concerned for her.It's so sad to watch her limp around.I can't wait to see her run around and play without pain. Last edited by phall1069; 01-12-2008 at 04:55 PM. Reason: misspelled words |

| Milo had the surgery al little over a year ago. I think I was worse than him. slept on the floor with him because I was afraid he would try to jump on the bed. The hardest part was getting him to slow down. The most important thing you can do is be strong and don't baby, when we went back to the Vet to discuss rehab he said that Milo was doing so well he did not need it. Good Luck |

| My little 4 pounder had the surgery when she was 7 months old. It went very well. She didn't have any problems. They told me to let her walk as soon as she was able as this would help it heal and not stiffen up. Of course you have to watch and make sure they don't jump around, but they usually don't feel like doing that anyway. She usually walks on all fours now but still holds that leg up when running or wanting to walk faster. |
