Hey guys,

I have done some searching but still have a few questions. We have 2 yorkie dogs, both 10 months old (roughly). One has been lifting her back leg since Sunday, she was running around all day and playing, then just laid down!

We took her to the vet on Monday morning as it didn't seem to be getting any better. The vet told us its LP and possibly a stage 3. We are getting a second opinion tomorrow afternoon, for now she is on meds and strict rest.

We have 2 dogs as mentioned and of course one wants to play with the other. When we separate them they bark and cry like crazy, so we've had success leaving the crate open and she just lays down while he plays around a little, then goes in with her.

My questions are:

1. Is 10 months too young to even think of surgery?
2. If we do the surgery how will we keep them separated for a month+?
3. Is there anything we should ask the 2nd vet tomorrow specifically?

I appreciate any/all help!

Matt
