This is a very common problem in small dogs. Both of my yorkies have a grade 1. My vet told me the best thing for this would be to walk them up a hill or swim. Fortunately they love to swim in our pool in the summer. If u can build up the muscle around the knee, it will be to their advantage. I would hold off on the surgery unless u see them in real pain. As far as the breeder goes, is it worth the trip back there? You'll be stressed and so will the dog. Just report her and take care of your little one. |
