Well, I didn't panic because she doesn't show any symptoms. And i'd rather know now so i can be extra careful about possibly harmful activities. I told Janet at Yorkie Camp about it this morning when I dropped her off this morning. They currently have five Yorkies - all rescues -- and all with LP. The only one that has required surgery is a little boy who came to them overweight and she thinks if his weight had been controlled, he might have been fine.
So -- I will be keeping an eye on her, trying very hard to avoid jumping and other stress on her hind legs, setting aside a little every month in case surgery becomes necessary, and otherwise loving on her - she is a pure joy and developing into quite a little character. |
