Hi!
I've posted alot about luxating patellas.....if you click on my name and see recent posts you'll be able to find them.
Right now, we are rehabbing our 3rd knee! My maltese had both kness done last year....one in April and one in June. Phoebi, my yorkie, just had hers done this January 2.
I think my posts go on and on, but if there's any other questions I can help with just let me know.
There's a few things to keep in mind with Elizabeth....she's young and a Grade 4 knee will never get better. As time goes on, she will be in excruciating pain if she's not now. A dog will hide pain - it's their instinct.
Also, there's different varients to the surgery. That is why you'll sometimes hear people having to go back for another surgery. Chose a Board Certified Surgeon and interview him....find out how many he does in a week.....there's alot of choices to make once he's inside the knee.
Good Luck to you and Elizabeth.... |
