It's almost impossible to buy dog toys or anything else for that matter that isn't made in China and their products are responsible for a lot of health concerns. I'm so tired of it all!!!!
As for LP, well sometimes it doesn't show up right away, and some breeders are not even aware that a stud or bitch has had this problem in their background. My Zada came from a reputable breeder who shows Yorkies, but Zada had surgery in both knees a few months after I got her. She had a grade 3 in both knees) I let the breeder know about this, but I certainly didn't get any financial help from her.
I got Azrael from the same breeder and she has different parents than Zada, but yet she has a grade 2 in both knees. She may never get any worse, and I doubt she will now since the knees haven't changed for almost 3 years.
I do hope your baby gets the surgery that she needs. A grade 4 is the worst. |
