My Yorkie Abi is 3, since she was a puppy the vet has said she has lucating patellas. This past week at her checkup he said on a scale of 1-4 (4 being inoperable) that she is a 3. Which in most cases I would do exactly was the vet suggest and do surgery. However, from everything I have read in my research when a dog is at a 3 they are in suvier pain. Abi runs and jumps, she plays rough with our 70 pound lab, she can almost just on the kitchen counter. If she is a 3 how can she be so active, and never cry in pain? or seem to be in any kind of discomfort?

I hate to put her through surgery when she dosnt seem to be in pain.

I would appreciate any thoughts or experiances anyone may have with this.
