Does anybody else have a yorkie with a plate in its leg? How much will this affect her mobility?

Thanks

I'm a little confused...you said both her back legs, but in the pic, it's just her one front leg. Is it also her 2 back legs? It doesn't show in the picture.
About the panting, it could be her pain meds, it makes them pant. Or if it's accompanied by feaver, it could be an infection.

Has anybody else had a yorkie with a broken leg? I feel sick with worry

Thanks.

My yorkie was just a few months old about 6 -7 months, he's now 16 months, but he broke his leg (by walking into my foot!! I was walking and he jumped in front of me, his leg collided with my shoe!) I was heart broken and felt so bad. He wore a cast for about 5 weeks and I can tell you that cast did not slow him down one bit..he reminded me of a one legged pirate because he hobbled along and dragged that cast as if it was not there! It is so hard to stop yorkies from jumping and they have such fragile bones. You may want to surround your bed with cushioning rugs or place a small step stool along the sides and teach your puppy to step up and down onto the bed. Let us know how everything turn out

There was two breaks in the front leg, didnt mean the back leg. Sorry
