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. |
I found an excellent article about lp published in the YTNR magazine, "The Yorkie Times" on page 5. The first link is pdf format. If you don't have a pdf reader, I've also given you another link that you can follow.
