Here is another observation. Sometimes for no apparent reason she will lift that leg the same way a male would when urinating but she will lift it even higher than that. It is almost like she is stretching her upper leg muscles. |
hmm, the vertical rod does suggest a fracture. maybe a tibial crest avulsion along with a luxating patella. can't really say.
Has your current vet seen her x-rays? i'd still stick with him and get her to a normal healthy weight.
You can always call the vet who did the surgery to ask what exactly was fixed and what the surgery was called. Was it the breeders regular vet that did it, or did an orthopedic surgeon do it?
