So far she doesn't seem to be in any pain and she gets around very well. Last night after a bath she got the "zoomies" and was tearing around the house the same as any four legged pups also when we visit cousin benny (my sisters pug) its always her tiring him out. |
I would limit the amount of zoomies since she has this leg issue, you don't want to cause any issues sooner if at all. Yorkies are notorious for zoomies, it's like in their genes lol. It's hard keeping a young yorkie calm, in Phoebe's case, it's almost a must.
