| Physical Therapy My 5 month old Yorkie broke her elbow when she was 3 months old. The 1st 2 surgeries didn't take. A 3rd was done to put in a larger screw and surgeon says it's holding and looks good but she isn't using it as much as she did after the first surgery. Is there some kind of physical therapy I can do with her to help the healing? |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | poor baby - your vet can tell you what kinds of things you can do with her to build her strength - but it may just need time to heal all the way - I hope she continues to get stronger. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | ohhh poor thing!!!!! I'm sorry about your baby! I don't really know about that. Maybe somebody here know more about that type of injuries; still I would get professional advise. |

| Call the surgeon who did the surgery and ask him what you can do to help her. Most say swimming since there is no pressure. |

| Thank you for your reply. I think I just worry too much because this has gone on for so long I'm afraid she'll end up lame. I have called the surgeon's office to see if she has some suggestions. Your babies are precious!! Glenna |
