Omg'sh, how scarry...I just saw this thread this a.m...I wanted to tell you that my Apple never ever had signs of LP, all the way up to a year old...She jumped out of a friend's arms, onto a wood floor, and didn't cry or anything...Within a week, her knee popped out, on a walk, and she fell down...I grabbed her up and it must have popped it back into place...I was beside myself w/anxiety about it all...Then I talked w/Lyn from the Haven (we live in the same area), and she helped me put things into perspective...Anyway, Apple has only had one or maybe two more episodes of this, and they weren't even as bad as the first, and it's been 8 months since the first episode...The vet did say she had grade 1 in her left back knee, and not to be too concerned...I think the only time they recommend surgery is if it pops out and won't go back in, or keeps popping out so much that it is too painful on the pup...Anyway, I'm glad Pixie is o.k., and do try to talk w/Lyn, as she has lots of knowledge about everything on the planet w/these yorkie babies...Will be praying for your little Pixie... |
