The vet told my mom that her yorkie would have to have surgery on her knees when she was older. But, my mom's yorkie is so spoiled and such an alpha dog, and she has never spent a second in a crate. The surgery would literally kill her. So, the vet said that she could just take arthritis meds for her knees and not have to have the surgery. You could do that if you really don't want to go through that surgery. It is also VERY VERY expensive. |
