I went to the vet yesterday and the doctor just touched her back legs and said she has Medial Luxating Patella...I was shocked b/c I have always brought her to this same vet and they happen to tell me yesterday. The vet said my yorkie might have had it when she was born (genes)....She didn't even get X-rayed.
She plays a lot..jumps on the bed/couch/chairs, goes up and down the stairs, plays with kids...she looks like she has no problem at all...so i was quite shocked and sad by what she told me.
She is a grade 3....when she walks, she walks bowlegged...the doctor said she's not in pain, so she doesn't need surgery but it is recommended because of the grade 3 severity.
What should I do??. I want to get a 2nd opinion....im really scared!
Can anyone tell me how I should proceed with this.
thank you
