i am so upset right now. before breeding pebbles i had taken her to her vet that she has had since she was a puppy to do a full check up and make sure that she was completely healthy and all of that stuff. i aked the vet about luxating patella's and she checked her knees and said that they were fine. the only problem she had was her retainedcanine teeth. well i wasnt very happy the last time i took pebbles to her vet for xrays (xray developer was broken so i didnt get to see the xrays, was charged for an exam she didnt recieve) so i decided to take the pups and pebbles to the vet that i take my beagle to.. the only reason i hadnt in the past is that they are a littl pricey. anyway.. she went in today to get the stitches out from her c-section. she did a full exam on pebbles and within 2 minutes told me pebbles has a grade 2 lucating patellaon her left rear g.
it was only about 4-5 months ago that the other vet checked this. how could she have mssed it!? what else could she have missed?
anyways.. the reason im posting this in he breeder section is because i dont know too much about it except what it is. is it genetic? is it something her puppies may have? or is it just something all yorkies have the chance of getting?
btw.. we have made an appointment totake the male pebbles was bred with to the new vet to get a complete check up since he was checked by the same vet as pebbles the first time.
sorry this is so long
