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 |
Hmm, this sounds like what we were dealing with. Hot Rod's leg is bowed and the surgeon told us that in time, it may correct although can't say that it will be 100%. I wonder if the condition of the cartilage and all of that stuff plays a part in the type of procedure done?
