Thank you for bumping this as I can see now. I just got here at work from Lokis apt.

1. Arrived at 9:45 am sharp, they took me in. Dr. looked at his x-ray and confirmed loki has Hip dysplasia. Both of loki's knees move meaning loki has Luxating patella as well.

States Loki is very new(not enough a 1 year old) so would suggest we do hip surgery (by removing his ball joints) and then knee surgery as well.

He was shocked because hip dypslia is usually a big dog issues and not a toy breed.

I am moving forward with his surgery. I am getting a price quote today. I will upload- does anyone know how to upload on here? I haven't got the quote now.

Conclusion- this is sucks for us-- however loki is fully insured and therefore we are able to get the care he deserves. The doctor said if Loki was older then he wouldn't suggest this surgery (but pain management instead). Since loki is so young he will live a long productive healthy life.
