Look at the bottom of this reply page and find the *Manage Attachments* section


There is listed the format you can upload in: jpeg gif etc.


Then click on Manage Attachments - Browse will come up - click on that then, upload the jpeg file from your computer. I will show as an attachment to the message

[IMG] code is Off do you think that is preventing me?

You can't upload pdf files as far as I know. If the file is not too large just copy and paste the file into the body of the email

2 of our yorkies had hip surgery where the procedure 'wrapped muscle or ligament around bone to hold it '? done awhile ago, mufasa had passed but did well, muffin doing ok but it has been almost 10 yrs and she is close to 16-17 yo....in people, the joint is wholly or partially replaced with a prosthesis, sometimes what appears to be knee pain in people is referred from a joint problem...get a second opinion maybe, even with people it is recommended to do one joint at a time to allow for recovery to have a sound joint to rely on and minimize longterm and additive effects of anesthesia.... - does loki jump up to and down from high surfaces ie the bed? since he is so young, maybe he should wait till all his bones and joints are better developed? Good luck to you and Loki, prayers and good thoughts to you both.....

Loki is only 11 months old- and surgery is what we are opting for. They will do one hip surgery and then both knees at the same time. Then 6 months letter they will do the other hips.

But I was thinking and am thinking out loud (with your guys help) what if I just wanted to do his hip surgery for now, and then see if I can naturally fix his knees with psychical therapy and all.. Please help me make a decision that allows my little bear to live a good comfortable life.

QUESTION-
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS- WITH YOUR YORKIE POO?

They actually do have hip replacements for dogs. Pretty amazing to see and they do really well. Mostly done in large dogs from what I have seen. I spend a lot of time at the specialist and see many. It is very expensive!

I thought about it for one of mine but ended up doing the FHO and she did fantastic.
