 My 6 month old yorkie has grade 3-4 luxating patellas
I took my 6 month old yorkie to the vet yesterday for a checkup and the vet said she grade 3-4 luxating patellas in both legs. I know LP's are common in yorkies, my other one has a mild grade 1 in her right leg. I was curious what other peoples thoughts and experiences are on a puppy so young and small (4lbs) have grade 4 LP's already. You wouldnt know she has them judging by the way she plays, runs, and jumps around. The vet said to just keep an eye on it, but odds are she'll eventually have to end up having surgery some day. He suggested waiting til at least she's full grown before getting it fixed. I would appreciate any comments and advice. Thanks |
