Bella had a similar episode. I had to crate her for 14 days and the vet gave her Mobic an antiinflammatory. She was much better after 7 days. So far she is ok but I known yorkies are know for luxating patellas. They want to do xrays when i spay her soon. The grove that the patella (knee cap) slides in as the leg is extended or flexed is sometimes so shallow that the knee cap actually slips out of place. My vet also recommended walking Bella up hill to strengthen and tighten the joint to prevent slipping (luxating). No hills in FL but i do have a treadmill that inclines. Good luck with your pup and just force her to rest in a crate until the vet can diagnose the issue! |
