Calleigh's 3rd leg surgery. No she doesn't have 3 legs. Lol. :) Calleigh has had LP and ACL surgeries on her left leg in the past. Now she is having LP and lateral collateral ligament repairs on her right leg.They will do both surgeries at the same time. I am beginning to wonder why her legs are so susceptible to leg injuries. She doesn't jump from furniture at all. She will be operated on this Thursday. Any good thoughts and prayers would very much be appreciated. She is 6 now, and as most people know, anesthesia can cause any owner to worry. Thanks in advance for your prayers. |

I don't know where you got her from but perhaps its congenital or hereditary? I have been through that with Mini and I know how you feel. I hope everything works out for your pup and you! |
Prayers to you and your baby girl. Surgery is so hard on everyone. |
I have a 1 1/2 year old girl, 7 lbs. She has always had a skip with her fast walk. Its her right back leg. My vet has checked her out a few times and sees no problem like LP. What were the signs that your baby had? I'm taking my girl to see a ortho pedis surgeon next week for answers. I also sometimes hear a pop when I pick her up and hold her. Can't figure this one out! |
Pups with LP are susceptible to ligament tears due to the wear and tear on the ligament because of the patella slipping in and out. While jumping should be avoided, they still can tear a ligament. The ortho surgeon I use recommends that puppies with LP have repairs done....he is less apt to do it with an older pup because often the pup will end up with a torn CCL and end up having two surgeries when it could have been just one. If repaired in a puppy, then the ligament does not go through all of that stress. I do highly recommend a board certified surgeon do the repair. Anesthesia is just not the risk that people think. As long as you are using a vet who is doing up to date protocols, there should be no problem. Good luck with the surgery. Keep us posted! :) |

Taking my zooey next Thursday to a board certified ortho pedic surgeon. Finally going to get some answers. |
Carol, Calleigh and you are in my thoughts and prayers as you get her ready for surgery on Thursday. You know she has my favorite head tilt in the whole world, so gotta get her back to feeling great soon, so you post some of those darling pictures after her surgery. Hugs, my friend! |
You're like me, my dogs have two legs and two arms, some people think their dogs have 4 legs! :D I just want to send prayers to you and Calleigh, I know this is hard for you and I'm glad Calleigh is in such good hands! |
