Boy that luxating patella does seem to be very common with these dogs. There is a lot of information on here...have seen a lot of threads on this. How old is Piccoli again?
I had a quick scare with Winston yesterday. I was weeding in my backyard that is fenced and I had just gotten started when Winston was gone in a complete silent and quick flash
! I kept calling and calling his name and could hear not a peep from him. I didn't know if he was still in the enclosed area or out of the fence. My shih tzus being mostly white I can spot easily, but it's like Winston is sort of camaflouged with the darker color and small size. I had just come inside to call family to help recruit finding him in an almost panic, when there he was at the front door. Oh my gosh. My heart skipped a few beats during that episode. the other bad part was he had gotten a bath earlier and his tags werent on him yet.
We have talked about putting concrete ledge around the fence on the ground....Pokey will try and dig out. I'm so frustrated, my fence doesn't really do it's job. Packer is my only one that hasnt figured a way out
