Our vet agrees with us that there has been some improvement in her general mobility and in the mornings she seems so much better. She uses her leg almost normally apart from the fact that she is still reluctant to jump up on the sofa. By the evening though her leg becomes stiffer and the limp and hobbling comes back again. By morning it seems much better again so i'm not sure if shes just being a little cunning as only Yorkies can and playing on it a little at night as it gains her attention.
I have read about a couple whos dog had the same injections. They didn't see an improvement until a week after the last one was given so i'm still optimistic that her leg may get better and better in the coming weeks.
I will definately update you as she progresses. In my experience its always good to have knowledge of new treatments from somone whos actually tried them as it seems so many of our babies suffer from the same knee problems and this treatment is somtimes a better option than surgery.
