She had to go to Canada West Veterinary Hospital and Critical Care. Reason being that my vet wasn't comfortable performing the surgery herself. Even the specialist said that it was really hard to work on Missy because her bones are just so tiny. He described it as being like "microscopic surgery". He warned me that the results may not be perfect because her bones were just soooo small in comparison to his fingers. IT was a difficult surgery. He did a great job though. She's healed perfectly.

Tinksmum - This is now about 4 months post-op. She's been zippin' around like this since the moment she was allowed free reign.

I just love the way their fur flips and flops around when they run. We nicknamed her "Flop Top Mop Top". It's so adorable. Yorkies are THE BEST!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Left lateral condyle here! It's a very common break (at least our specialist has seen a lot), but on such weenies is the challenge! I don't know how it compares, but I paid 2.5k sterling (on a holiday weekend) for Belle's surgery. I'd also pay again in a heartbeat! She was walking normally on a lead by day 4 post op - I am more devastated it happened in the first place. She developed an infection and got lame this week, but we are working on that with antibiotics. Downside is that she has to almost certainly get the metalwork taken out because of that...we will see in 2 weeks. I'm really chuffed your little one has such good results - I hope ours are as good.

I don't mind you asking at all. I get asked that question alot. It is an awful lot of money to repair a broken leg. People don't understand why it didn't just need a cast. Here's a picture to show how she broke it. It was actually fractured in two areas. That is why it's a trickier surgery to do.

Missy is sooooo adorable . I am so glad she is better .

PiePiper · 06-09-2009, 08:14 AM

Yeah Missy you sure can run fast! When these babies need surgery and we hear what it's going to cost we can remember this video of Missy running. It's worth every penny to see your baby run again. Piper had surgery for Legg Perthes in December and now she too is running.

She is the most adorable little thing!!

Wow that little girl is fast and bouncy. You may have a future agility superstar on your hands!

andibaby · 06-10-2009, 05:19 PM

What a sweetheart! I also love it when their hair just 'swooshes' around when they run. So glad she is doing so well.
