I am glad Martha's surgery went well.
It only popped out of place that one time, but I am looking into buying/making some stairs so she can get up to bed. I think this is the worst part for her, as I have a pillow top mattress, so it is pretty high.
Thanks.
Kate

Not all dogs have it get to that stage, but it is a worry. I have heard loads of really good advice on here, there is a lot in the Yorkie Health and Diet section, but I guess in the end it is just something they live with. Lucy doesnt show any discomfort with it, she just hops along sometimes. When she does this we stop her and slow her down, we dont want to make the problem worse by allowing her leg to get stiff! I hope your baby is OK!!!  |
