Lets hope she does not get an infection or have any other complications. He did say that 50% of Yorkies who have this procedure will need to have the pins removed anywhere from 2 months to 2 years post op, if they are irritating the skin. The skin in the area is so delicate and thin. That is all I know. I will post more as I know more. Thanks for being here!
Oh my goodness. I hope she is ok.. please keep us updated on her. I would love to know more about this. I have a small boy that has LP. He is 5 and I do not want to do surgery unless I absolutely have to.

Also can you tell me how much this procedure costs. It seems to vary so much around North America.
