My daughter's yorkie had this same problem, and it was a very long recovery, but he did recover without surgery and is walking again. He had to be kept in a small cat crate and they could take him out and hold him on their laps to get breaks from the crate. The most important thing is to totally limit their activity and of course, pain control. There were several times that we thought it was time to put Kirby to sleep, but our vet would always tell us he wasn't to that point yet. This happened a couple of years ago, and since his recovery, he has been a happy and healthy dog. I hope the same for your little guy! Best wishes! |
