But now he is fine and occasionally I can still hear the cracking of his knees but not as bad. I hope I made the right decision.
However, I have 2 yorkies now and my husband said that if they are ever diagnosed with the LP, he will not allow my babies to get the surgery. Is that a bad decision? |
Thank you for your prayers for my Oliver....i really do appreciate them. In our case i feel i made the right decision for him...he has really showing signs of pain lately and it has been getting worse. He is only 2 and a half and i wouldn't want him to end up not having full use of his legs. His most favorite thing in life is chasing his balls...I am sorry things didn't go real well with your Maltese, but, for me i would probably choose to do the surgery if it is something that is affecting the quality of life for the dog. I hope you never have to make that decision for your yorkies. I hope their little knees are strong and never give them any problems! Thank you again for your prayers for my baby!
