Our concern is what’s best for Hudson, surgery or physical therapy. Right now he’s on a painkiller ( Gabapentin ) and we try to keep him from moving around much. He’s such a trooper and never hints of pain. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thank you. |
Thankfully none of my pups experienced anything like this. I would think x-ray first, then ask about physical therapy vs surgery. Keeping these yorkies calm when they have leg injury is a challenge.
