Zorro my yorkie I had back in the '80's came out of the bedroom crying, my young dtr was with him so we don't know what really happened, but I took him to the vet and they said he had a tear in his cruciate ligament and his knee cap needed regrooving. I had the surgey done which even back then cost 700.00 and he never completely healed. He would always hold that back leg a little off the ground. The recovery was not too bad, my in laws were in from Florida and were home with him for 2 weeks. He was a very laid back dog so he was content to jusy lay on a pillow. I don't think he was in much pain after the initial tear so I don't know if it was worth having the surgery done or not. Good Luck |
