I cant believe I went to this site to look up what my dog is going through and I find your pose. I have a 10 month old female who was playing with his siblings about a week ago and heard her yelp. then she started walking with her left rear leg bent up..then the next day she would do it periodically...she can only make abouit 50 % of her jumps onto the couch. and runs with 3 legs. I took her to the vet but was told different then you.
They said to have her take at easy and see what happens no jumping or running..sure remember she is a puppy...lol..anyways i googled it...the surgery needs to be done by a orthopedic vet only..it has a 48% of sucess and it may revert back again if they jump or run wrong. Some say to wait awhile and see what happens. I was given a pain, antiinflamatory med to give her but she doenst seem to be hurting..just has a bruised ego as she cant jump.
hope that helped..i know it is frustrating and i feel soo bad for my baby!
