Anyway, prior to the surgery, he was in definate and seirous pain. It has been a year and a half now, and he uses all four legs 85% of the time. However, when he runs full speed, he usually lifts it up quite a bit.
Also, after serious excercise, I get the feeling that the area is sore for him. I massage the area gently, and he seems to like that. Do you and your yorkie experience anything like this? |
It seems odd that from never hearing about LP I sure hear about it quite often now.
I am glad your little one has recouperated from his surgery and has been on his way to complete health.
Yes, if Schatzie runs a muck for long periods of time she does seem to be sore to me. I too rub her leg and hip area as she seems to enjoy it. She too uses her hind left leg 85-90% of the time except runs at full speed.
The vet says she is healing very well and that eases my worries.
