hello and help! Hi I am a newbie here. I have three yorkies and one needs surgery for luxating patella and torn ligament. Has anyone else had this surgery? Toto is the one that needs this surgery. |
Welcome to YT. There are a lot of people that are filled w/info regarding LP, you will get a lot of help from here. Good luck! |
My first Yorkie, Zada had both knees operated on at the same time. Recovery time was 6 to 8 weeks. What did you need to know about it? |

My advice is to seek a Certified Ortho Specialist. Please keep us posted |
Quite a bit of people have had it here. My little baby has LP but not too bad yet. |
i wanted to know if they can ever recover without having surgery. Did your dog have trouble walking? How did the surgery go? How much was it? Thanks for your help |
IMO - Grade 3 and 4 should have surgery. Roxy had both legs done at the same time ($3000) Recovery is at least 8 weeks and very serious, they must be contained in a crate or small expen LP doen't get better on its own, only worse.:( |
Welcome to YT! If you go into the sick/injured or use the search thingy and search it. My baby has them bad and I actually have to get him into the specialist. Good luck you will find all your answers here! |
toto needs both legs done but he wants to do one at a time. she has torn ligaments in her knees also. they want 3200 for just one leg. toto is 11 years old, I am worried about her age and the fact she once had a collapse of her treacea. |
Welcome to YT. Sorry about your dog but there are lots of people that can give you some info on this subject. |

Maybe they want to do one leg at a time b/c of the torn ligaments :confused: |

I would be concerned about the trachea and the age. Has the vet talked to you about this? Is she in good health? Both my girls have had LP surgery. One just had surgery last month. The most important thing is to get a Certified Ortho Specialist to do the surgery. I would definitely ask your vet about the trachea and her age. LP will not get better on it own, only surgery can fix it. I will send prayers for your baby. Please keep us posted on her. |
Welcome to yt! you came to a great place there are many on here that can help you :) |
