I just adopted a yorkie girl, she is 6 years old. I adopted her from a couple that can no longer take care of her, she had surgery on her knee last week and they work all day so they can´t take care of her.
I´ll try to be brief since I don´t know much about the case. She had surgery and the vet suggested physical therapy twice a week for what they said it looks like luxating patellas, I don´t know the vet that performed the surgery and how trustworthy he could be. The previous owners said she never had any issue with her knee, she doesn´t have an X-ray or anything to confirm why she needed surgery.
Right now I´m trying to get her to not move too much, I walk her to pee and poo and carry her on stairs.
If you ever had this sor of issue with your dog please tell me about your experience, I am willing to do whatever is necessary to help her feel better and be happy.
Thanks in advance
