Hi Viv:
I am so pleased you saw the LDR website. I suggested it to cheer you up as I know for a fact that Susie the yorkie WAS walking so soon and did not seem too be in much pain even then. You have to be careful with them jumping etc after the LP surgery, but the pain issue did not seem a big deal with the dogs I know of on LDR. I hope that if little Snickers does have to have the surgery that she will have the same quick recovery as I have seen many times on the LDR site. You of course have to get an expert Vet in LP surgery on little dogs, so I am sure you will check that out if need be. It always amazes me how little the small dogs seem to suffer with pain after surgery, compared with humans!!!
So try and be brave and trust the Vet whatever he suggests. It will be OK!!! I know how you feel though, I used to lose my mind whenever my little Yorkie had to have ANYTHING done - even shots!! I only wished it were me not her, but usually she would perk up very soon and I would be still shaking. LOL.
Good Luck and we will pray that little Snickers gets well soon.
Hugs to you both.
