 Update
I took my Yorkie to see another Vet today. I didn't tell him I went to another Vet. I didn't know how he hurt his leg and didn't know what was going on. He checked him throughly and asked which leg and checked both of them. He did manuver the leg back in place. Afterwards, he showed me on his leg what was going on as well as a model of the dog's leg. He told me that it is a grade 1 and it isn't that bad on him now, but could get worse since these breeds have this genetic trait. I asked about giving him a joint pill, and he told me that was okay and it may help, but it won't hurt him either. He explained things better and I felt good with him as Maxwell did.
The other Vet in comparision only showed me a book of the issue. He never told me the grade of the knee. Then when I mentioned about taking a joint pill, he told me it isn't going to help him. Also, he only checked the leg that had the issue tho he did watch him as he walked as I threw the ball I bought.
Anyways, I feel like I found a better Doctor. I have been told by 3 people about this Vet and how they liked him a lot. I went to "Feeder's Supply" afterwards and got him a chewy joint pill. We played when we came home and walked and Maxwell did excellent. He hardly hopped and was able to do both blocks without hopping very much. |
