Believe me. I so wish it wasn't this way either. Our Spenser who we adopted in December was from a yorkie rescue. Within two weeks he had bladder surgery. U of Minnesota found them to be calcium oxilate. Spenser did very well. He is ten. Only residual results are a special diet. Max came from a small all breed rescue. They did vet him and had a dental resulting in 12 extractions, his being Lyme positive, but meds left up to adoptor. Our vet did further Lymes testing and found his score was 72 when it should be only 30, so he has been on doxycycline. By the day after the visit, Max was yelling, then sitting and licking his left leg. This happened five times in one afternoon. Back to regular vet. She said he had a 2 and 3 luxating patella. While she examined him when she checked his leg the now familiar yelp occurred. She got the surgeon. He said it was more likely a 4. He said he would like to help, but felt I should take him to an orthopedic specialist and recommended two, both of which we saw. Each said Max needed surgery.
I will update after today's chapter.
