I feel a little more confident being a physical therapist with an orthopedic background. The scary part is none of my patient's have ever been a 6 1/2 lb Yorkie so I shall follow the surgeons advice to the letter.
I am trying to be brave, but my heart does break for her. |
That's great to hear you got in so soon for surgery. There are more than a few members who have that surgery for their pup
Your profession will be very useful in the rehab. Let us know how it goes.
