Dont make yourself crazy over what could have happened or did happen or if she slid or thr like, sadly it happens to so many yorkies because not all breeders are there for the love of the dog its more like love of the dollar. I agree with prev post limit jumping use steps for furniture andor beds.. but if your dog was anything like my fife he wanted no parts of that, so surgery was only option, also the gluc might also help it might not but it sure wont hurt. Also a 2nd opinion never hurts

Yeah, I'm beating myself up over it. I've seen her interaction with the hallway carpet before and didn't remove it.

She is her old self tonight and showing no pain. She is BEGGING me to throw the ball so she can chase after it down the hallway. I'm barely tossing it.

I want to put her on cosequin or something similar.

Wow! Your baby went through a lot, but sounded like he did well after the surgery.
