I think you'll find that you've made the right decision in going forward and having Zaccheus's surgery. Piper had her surgery on December 28. She had just started to carry the hind leg, yet didn't seem to be in pain. After a week of carrying that leg once in awhile, I had a gut feeling that something bad was going on. She was 7 months old and weighed 5 lbs. and the vet said being that she was young and weighed so little that she would heal quickly and be 100% again. He was so right. Piper is running and jumping again. Every day the two of us take a 3 mile walk and she never carries the leg or limps. Before you know it Zaccheus will be as good as new and most importantly pain free.
