Hello Everyone,
My Penny has had her operation. Came through it really well. I think I was more upset than she was. The left knee was a grade 4 so was pretty bad. Right knee was grade 3. She didn't have a lot of pain after the operation. Didn't like the Elizabethan Collar at all. Wish someone would come up with something more humane. I took her to have the dressing removed from the left leg this morning. The vet who did the operation did a very good job. No swelling and only a little bruising. On Friday she will have all the stitches removed, thank goodness. Those are the only things that have given her any trouble. They must be picking her. The whole operation and drugs cost $1800
She sure is a little angel. Only trouble I have with her is, she is VERY fussy about her food. I have been reading this forum and it seems like a lot of people have that problem with their Yorkies. I think I have just about tried everything that has been suggested. Yes, she does like ground Turkey, but only if its not cooked to much "little madam".
So, all we have to have done to young Penny now is for her to be spayed, but I think I will leave that for a few weeks to let her get over this operation.
Not sure when Yorkies come into heat. She is nearly 6 months now, we think.
