Donating YT 30K Club Member | I had a male yorkie back int he 70's that tore his ACL and he had surgery on it and they regrooved his kneecap at the same time. He was fine after but when standing still he always held that back leg up a little.

| Yes this happened to Maggie at about age 7. We did the surgery and she recoved very quickly and never had any other problems with it. They did some type of band to hold it in place.

| no we think dd might have done this as she jumped off doggie stairs that go to couch wrong way and we had xrays and no breaks or fractures but she is still not putting 100% pressure on it and it will be two weeks tomorrow what surgeon did you use? |

| Petie won't put weight on his back leg Hi, all of a sudden my 5 yr old Yorkie, Petie, wont put any weight on his right rear leg. I noticed it after I left him in the car while running errands. It doesn't seem to hurt him, even when I press on it. Of course it is Sunday-- I looked at DeeDee's video and it sure looks like Petie--any ideas? |

| thats so sad poor little girl Thats exactly what Maggie looked like. Did you see an orthopedic? They can usually tell by feeling if it is the acl. Maggie had LP and it was the same thing she just landed wrong from a jump. She really did great after the surgery and the surgeon said because of her LP this would improve her walk which it did. Her surgery was done by Mike Serdy in san diego. I would highly recommend him. He is one of the best surgeons in sourthern cal. Maggie also at age 16 had her hip dislocated and it too required surgery. Mike Serdy also did this surgery. PM me if there is anything I can do. Im so sorry

| yeah we are two weeks now still not 100% pressure on leg --if i had to do all over again i would have gone straight to orthopedic vet so strongly recommend that as now i paid $472 and now have to go to orthapedic so double paying so strongly recommend save some money and go to specialist ;( wish i did that first off |

| Hopefully it isn't the ACL in your little one, Chris. ACL tears are usually painful and they will make a big fuss if the injured leg is manipulated, so if your baby doesn't seem to hurt when you move the leg, it may be something less severe. Hope everything checks out well with the vet tomorrow!

i heard that breaks are very painful so knew it was not a break but fractures are less painful and it just hurts with pressure applied on ground so why i did xrays asap but when it was not that we became more concerned acl or soft tissue but now two weeks later still not 100% i am leaning more towards acl injury and scared. | |
