She did have to have surgery right away for the one leg and she did the cut and pin. That leg is all good now. When the other leg started to luxate, she had a bad staph infection so we put off surgery. During us trying to cure her staph infection, we discovered she has liver issues (MVD), so I have put surgery off...until...IDK I give her Cosiquin everyday and I don't see her limp or carry that leg. She is now 4.5 yrs old, so I suppose since we have everything under control now, I should bring her back to see exactly how bad that leg is luxating. If it is mild, than I do not want to put her thru it again, but if I have to, then I guess I will
What was her recovery period like? How did you keep her still and quiet? I'm so concerned about that for Chelsea because she's a little live wire and just LOVES to jump around and play. Thankfully, her surgery won't be for a few months so I can try to get lots of advice on what to expect and how to handle it.
