 luxating Patella (knee)
Hi, this is our first time posting....we just got our first Yorkie on Sat. (12/11). It is a little boy, 15 weeks old, 2.6 lbs. The breeder required us to have our vet check over the pup within three days, which we did. Unfortunately our vet said that our pup has a luxating patella (right leg). We reported this to the breeder and she claims that neither the mom nor dad has the knee problem and that her vet checked the pup at 6 wks and he didn't report any problems. We love this little guy but we are worried about what we are in for with him and this problem. As you all know Yorkies aren't cheap and we are wondering if we should return him to the breeder. If anyone has a Yorkie with this problem we would love to here from you. This has us really worried. |
