Here is a link to the original thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3376

I just wanted to update everyone on the second opinion that I got. The orthopedic surgeon said it was best to let the foot alone. If she were to do surgery it would do more harm than good. Jasmine definately has a dislocated foot, but since she is acting normal and not in any pain than there is no reason to do the surgery. The other OS said it needed done and it would cost $1600.00. I went by my instinct and got a second opinion. I'm glad I did.

I just want everyone to remember to always get a second opinion, especially when you don't feel good about the doctor's opinion in the first place.
