LP question help im so nervous for my baby Hi everyone I have a yorkie her name is Sasha she just turned five this month always been healthy and has a ton of energy Novemeber 4th we were playing in the house and i slid the ball for her to get (like we have done a million times) she ran to get it and she ran into her food dish and kinda flipped over she got up and held her leg up i looked her over and everything seemed fine she allowed me to massage her leg the following day she would limp on and off i took her to the vet who told me she had dislocated her knee he gave her anti inflamatory pills for two weeks and put her on joint supplement to have her rest for three weeks no running jumping or standing on her hind legs which i did boy that was hard to keep her still we take her back three weeks later and he said her knee is alot stronger than three weeks ago and she has a very mild LP i thought i was gonna die when i heard that ,,he said to rest her more for another three weeks and gradually increase her activity and to watch her if this happens again to take her in. the problem is im scared now to have her be herself i have been sleeping on the floor with her for the past six plus weeks because im afraid she will jump off my bed does this mean she can not run and play and get on my bed or couches by herself? i am so upset that this happened to her over a slip into a dish shes my baby i love her so much guess I just need to hear other peoples experience with this he didnt give me a grade just that it was a very mild case can this be a one time thing since she wasnt born with this?
