My Miss Mini had this before 1 year of age, My Miss Mini had the surgery for this, my Miss Mini is not "cured" or corrected, rather I like to say it was surgically enhanced to allow her to have a more active life, but by no means was it corrected or cured. My baby can't sit on command but rather improvises, she has limitations, and YES i DID seek out a reknowned surgical orthopaedic and pay bucu dollars for her surgery where he completely and assured me that while it could not be made whole, it would be better....please don't offer your expertise where you surely don't have any, rather; your opinion would be more warranted under the circumstances.... |
That's right, it's a horrible, painful, debilitating, dying off of the bone for unknown reasons. Even the best surgeon can't guarantee a great result every time. The lack of compassion by some is just so troubling. Indeed, surgery for LCPD is to restore function --
to make a lame dog who suffers with pain walk again -- to maybe run if you're lucky. I dread the day my dog must undergo the surgery. Right now he is not clinical but his xray tells the truth of his future. That's why I can't have people like YorkieMom1 dictate where I should spend my money -- I have it sitting in an account for MY OWN DOG. But, I will always have a few dollars to spear for charitable causes like yorkie rescues who take care of babies like this when owners cant.
