Mikki has LP in both of her back knees. Hers is a grade 4 if I remember correctly. When he talked to me about it, the vet did not show me how to put them back. I did watch him and he was trying to do it himself. So, I assume it can be done. Mikki don't show symptoms that she has the LP. The only time we know it is when she has been playing and running a lot. After that, she has to "rest" her legs. The vet did tell me it is very common in Yorkies and said it was genetic. I know that we were also told to limit the jumping. I have stairs for Mikki and try to pick her up when she wants up on the chair or couch. I think it could have possibly been the LP with Princess. However, I would contact my vet for sure on Monday. I would also ask about putting the knee cap back in place then. Your vet will be able to advise you on the right thing to do. Good luck and keep us updated. |
