Hello Everyone,
I am new to your forum. I have been reading your letters for quite awhile and can see you all know a lot about Yorkies.
We have adopted a 5 month (my vet thinks thats how old she is) Yorkie that was wondering in our back yard. She is just the sweetest thing. We put a call out to the Police, Animal Rescue, vets all those kind of places to see if the owner was trying to find her. No one came forward.
The thing is, she has to go into the vets tomorrow to have her two back knees operated on for Patellar Luxation. We think that why she was thrown out. The left one is a grade 4 and the right one a grade 2 so she needs to have them done asap. It sounds a terrible thing for such a small dog to go through. Has anyone had this done? Do they suffer very much, and how long will it be before she will be able to walk properly.
Thanks for any help.
