I guess Lucie is just becoming my problem baby. This evening she jumped/fell off the bed. Not sure which, I got up to go to the bathroom (she never tries getting off the bed herself.) When I came back my mom had her and said she came out of the room, I didn't hear a yelp or anything, she was shaking a little so I assumed she fell but she wasn't doing anything wierd. A few hours later I noticed she was holding her back leg up, after checking her out for a few minutes I figured I should take her to the Emergency vet.
The girl checked out her leg, and said that it seemed like she has a luxating patella in both legs. She said on a scale of 0-4 with zero being nothing she would rate her at a 2. She told me that there is a good chance that later on she may need surgery for it.
Now the breeder that I got her from, has a health guarantee for 1 year for her puppies against congenital defects including luxating patella..It basically states that you can send the puppy back and she will give you another etc..Well I don't want another dog, I want the one I have so shoud I even bother saying anything to her?

Also, does anyone have any advice on how I can deal with it for now? Lucie is usually such a wimp, she wines over the smallest things and yet she didn't do anything over this, the vet gave me some pain meds to last a couple days, so I gave her some just in case its hurting. But now I am paranoid about her little legs, I was already worried about broken bones because she is so tiny, but now it's 500x worse because I don't want her leg popping out of place again!
