Usually consultations are not too expensive and if it is something that requires surgery, then discuss payment options.

I do not mean to sound like I am lecturing because believe me I am not, I know how hard it is to deal with things like this...I would suggest that you try to not let her be overly active if it really seems that bad and you cannot go to a vet, because one of the main problems is with use arthritis sets in, and then complete lameness.

I absolutely agree with this. My yorkie had both her knees done at the age of one year.
She is now almost seven years old is doing wonderful. We too had money
problems, but everything worked out okay. Best wishes to you and your little
one.
