2 of our yorkies had hip surgery where the procedure 'wrapped muscle or ligament around bone to hold it '? done awhile ago, mufasa had passed but did well, muffin doing ok but it has been almost 10 yrs and she is close to 16-17 yo....in people, the joint is wholly or partially replaced with a prosthesis, sometimes what appears to be knee pain in people is referred from a joint problem...get a second opinion maybe, even with people it is recommended to do one joint at a time to allow for recovery to have a sound joint to rely on and minimize longterm and additive effects of anesthesia.... - does loki jump up to and down from high surfaces ie the bed? since he is so young, maybe he should wait till all his bones and joints are better developed? Good luck to you and Loki, prayers and good thoughts to you both.....

Loki is only 11 months old- and surgery is what we are opting for. They will do one hip surgery and then both knees at the same time. Then 6 months letter they will do the other hips.
But I was thinking and am thinking out loud (with your guys help) what if I just wanted to do his hip surgery for now, and then see if I can naturally fix his knees with psychical therapy and all.. Please help me make a decision that allows my little bear to live a good comfortable life.
QUESTION-
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS- WITH YOUR YORKIE POO? |
