Greens Treasured Yorkshire Terriers - Legge-Perthes Disease Hello everybody,
A letter from my vet was sent to Brenda today, as Brenda requested proof this weekend.
The letter states:
Lucky, a Yorkie puppy, was diagnosed with grade 1/4 medially luxating patellas AND Legge-Perthes disease of the right hip. There is NO evidence of trama or fractures causing Lucky's lameness. The hip will require surgery and follow up physical therapy for repair and return to function. The luxating patellas do not require treatement at this time. Both conditions appear to be hereditary and affected dogs should not be bred. |
