I have a Yorkie boy who had luxating pateelas in both his rear legs. We ended up having surgery on both legs at the same time. He then ended up chewing all the stitches out of one of his legs (it was horrible!).
But the vet ended up goping in a
SECOND time and doing a nother surgery on both his legs again. He is fine now. He's 3 years old now and runs around like nothing. Although it seems to never fail that he's always wacking his poor little knees on the steps! I cringe everytime!
But he's doing real well. I do know surgery isn't always needed. My Rogan was in pain and I think it was the right choice for him. He's my big Yorkie. 14lbs, puchased from a big time BYB. I remember they had all kinds of Yorkies running around in a fenced in area. I know better now. He's huge, his ears never stood up ,and then he had the knee issues. But he turned out to be the best dog I ever had! Spoiled rotton!
Good luck with yours...I hope she's well soon
