Did the vet grade her knees? Loose kneecaps (luxating patellas) are very common in Yorkies and other toy breed dogs. They are grade from 1-4 with 4 being the worst. If they are 1 or 2 and you are carful not to let her jump on and off furniture, she shouldn't need surgery. |
I am not sure if the vet even used the word Luxating Patella. The breeder didn't give me a grade but I will ask again. I will be getting that info from my vet once she is with me and has been seen. The breeder did say that she wasn't showing any signs and that it was not a bad problem so I assume it is a 1 or 2 but will have to see. She is small and will not be put on furniture. I don't think she can get on any herself.
