[quote=worcester;2565803]Ok let me clear something up here so you all can settle down, my female has knee trouble like almost all yorkies will or do already have her knee pops out of joint which causes her legs to go out she has had this since she was little it is not bad on her nor does it hurt my vet says it is very comin in this breed they pop out so much even when not PG that she has wore out the joint so now they are more out then in most of the time. as for her heat I keep very close watch on it by calender and she was to go into heat 3 weeks before I sent her to my xx but had no sign of it and her 2nd heat of her life she never had any signs no bleeding no swelling nothing so I thought she had done the same thing this timequote] I want to answer that. No, knee trouble (Patella luxation) is a big fault in a breeder dog and every responsible breeder would not use a dog with patella or legg perthes for breeding. If all breeders would think so than would patella and leggs perthes a minority problem. In germany your dog will be tested for such things and then outclosed from breeding. It may be that she now have no pain but who can say it in future? I had a chihuahua puppy with patella and some years she was not in pain and then she was yelping and crying and I had taken her to the vet and she died during the operation. Please bote that the success of a patella operation can not be guaranteed by a vet. A small tiny dog can come into heat without showing signs as bleeding and so one. So it could be that you cannot notice her heat but the male CAN IT and DOES IT. |
