Thank you! Her shot finally kicked in and she did more than just lay where ever I sat her down. (Potty pad water bowl) It was breaking my heart!

The next day he was doing better and even better on Sunday.
Thank goodness nothing more serious was going on.
Thanks to everyone here for the support.

Glad to hear it was just a sprain!!
Riley has been playing rough and running and jumping a couple of times and I will hear a loud SHRIEK

(like he comes down on his leg wrong or something...) He's always been okay but it Always scares me!!!!

Awwww.... =(
How old is she?! Did they tell you what level of LP she has?!

Kiki Mama · 03-03-2013, 06:33 AM

She turned one the end of January and I was wondering about these levels! She told me it was intermediate luxating patella

There is Grade I through Grade IV. Usually the Vet will let you know what Grade it is.... Riley has a Very Slight Grade I ... As a LOT of Yorkies & Small Breeds in general do... My Vet has said: not to downplay it but LP is fairly common in small breeds... Most live fine with it without ever needing anything.

Thank you for posting that link it is the best I've seen! In my personal opinion I think she is grade 1 she has yelped a few times in pain for no real reason we could see but Friday night it was over 5 mins after playing extremely hard with my husband! Kiki has some speed in her! Saturday she didn't feel good and was in pain but her shot yesterday has helped. She has rimadyl to take for 2 weeks and if needed we can refill to try to avoid surgery. This morning is she starting to act like herself again slowly so I hope surgery isn't needed.

My Pleasure!!

Grade I = you can pop the knee out but it pops right back jn...
Grade I Wouldn't be Intermediate and doesn't need surgery.
She would be a II or above. You should definitely find
out from the Vet. Hoping the meds. Work and she won't
Need surgery.

Also...make sure your vet knows what they are talking about w LP. With my first yorkie Lola I knew nothing about LP. I took Lola in for her puppy well check up...the vet told me she had LP and needed surgery at a crack of upto $2500 per leg. Didn't tell me what grade or anything. I read up on it and that is where I learned that surgery depends on what grade and how the pup handles it...and that if its a grade 1 surgery might have more complications such as arthritis then the LP. Lola never had an issue w her legs ever. Needless to say, I never went back to that vet and my new vet did not find issues w her legs.

Kiki Mama · 03-03-2013, 09:40 AM

I plan to call tomorrow and find out what grade she is and my vet encouraged me to do research to do what we are dealing with and I have a regular appointment in two weeks. I just showed up Saturday and she worked me in. Also gave me her cell if we had any problems with the meds or if my husband had any questions.
