A dog's instinct teaches them to hide their pain.
If your Vet says it's a 3 then I think it's time for the surgery. In the meantime, she probably shouldn't be running or jumping...it will only take a second to get to a Grade 4.
My maltese just had his 2nd knee done and although the recovery is long and if done correctly - requires alot of rehab - they go on to do just fine! The only problems I have heard of after surgery are from those who didn't follow the post-op directions. Personally, I was too AFRAID not to listen.....first off it was his knees and second off...it cost a fortune...lol!
Good Luck to you and your baby..... |
