I'm glad the vet got back to you. I hope you can get Charlie feeling better. |
This is all sounding very promising...wishing Charlie well...I hope this vet has the right answer for you and Charlie. |
Hope that little Charlie has a quick recovery. |
We will get him better. Here's a video from today. He needs a hair cut but I am worried to take him to the groomer. I worry of them tugging too hard or something. :/ But you can see he is not suffering or anything. Charlie dog - YouTube |
Charlie's a cutie. I am glad things are going so well with the new Vet. Good luck with the appointment and jean sales. Buster sends tail wags to Charlie. |
Charlie looks great, nope it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all...maybe he won't need surgery... but we shall see... best wishes! |
OMG he is adorable!! |

I'm glad he's doing better. I think if there was swelling, the joint won't pop back in... but when the swelling goes down, it went right back in. Usually surgery is done when it won't go back in, swollen or not, or if a dog is showing pain and non-weight bearing. When I took Finny to the vet for diarrhea, the vet said her knee was out, but not to worry, she popped it back in right there. I have no idea when it went out, she had no symptoms or anything, lol. Walks and runs fine, no yelping and always weight bearing. I will be keeping a closer eye on her though. |

Funny, this topic comes up today again as I was just at the surgeon that we use in the Houston area. One of the YHR fosters was seen because her knees were a concern. She has Grade 3 LP ...her knees are out .. can be put back in place, but pop right back out. The next grade is 4 and that is when they simply stay out. The rule of thumb for this surgeon and most I have heard of is to not operate UNLESS the pup is in distress. Has really not much to do with the grade at all. What can happen is that they can operate on a knee and then weeks or even months later if the pup sustains a tear to the CCL, another expensive surgery is done. So...unless there is pain or difficulties walking or a torn CCL, no surgery. Now, that is for adult pups. Puppies are a different story. Any surgeon who pushed me or told me I was getting a bargain would have me running out the door. |
This is who I am seeing. She seems very nice. I am excited to meet her. Pacific Veterinary Surgery Services I agree that was dumb of me not to run and actually consider what he said. I have no experience with this kind of stuff so I had no clue about the need for a specialist. I do now though. We live and we learn. I am thankful for Yorkie Talk. |

That is promising information. Thank you. I'd rather not put him through surgery and just keep him healthy instead. I'm so worried about taking him for walks and letting him jump around too much right now. Sucks. Maybe I should be doing all that stuff as normal. |

He looked fine in that video. Of course, that does not mean he is...because sometimes they tear a ligament and within a few days they can walk on it again. The problem is that when it is torn, severe arthritis will set in if not repaired. Will keep you and him in my thoughts and prayers. Hope all goes well. |
