Thankfully my Yorkie never had this issue, however our Maltese did. Due the to severity and the discomfort the pup was feeling when it happened we elected to due the surgery.
She had it done in both rear knees (and one was done a second time as the first job was done poorly). The fall out from this surgery (or not doing it as well) can be a torn ACL in the future which yes happened to both knees as well.
So our million dollar dog is perfectly fine now and she doesn't have a limp 8-12 years later. |
