Dear Members,
Our poor Yorkie has been having trouble with his back legs falling out from under him for months & now today it is also involving his front legs. We've spent $1000s at the vet was told it was "just VERY mild subluxating patellas in his back legs with possibly a VERY slight tear to his right ACL." He was put on limited activity & pain meds, but now considering it has become worse I suspect there is something neurological or a spinal disc problem. Can anyone please recommend a very good vet/surgeon in the NYC area that deals with neurological/orthopeadic/surgery with very small Yorkies (4.8lbs)?

Thanks
Erica
