| Don't be nervous, she will be in great hands and she will have you there when it is all over. Again, I am just happy that you feel comfortable with the Center and the Doctor. That's the most important thing I am so glad they can offer you a place to stay with her, I know that will make you both feel at ease. Keep us posted with her recovery and we are all here if have questions or just need support |

| Our mix Lady tore her acl and we had the surgery and all went pretty smoothly. The vet had us wait a week as well to be sure. Since she is a good hefty 65lbs her limping did have an effect on her other legs so we put her on pain meds until she was completely recovered. Also, remember she is between 13-14yrs old and she has arthritis to boot! I think your girl will be fine since she is a yorkie and there's so little weight being supported. W/ Lady the vet said if we hadn't done the surgery she would have had serious damage to her other legs and would probably shorten her life span. I can't really remember now how long her recovery period was but I believe it was a few weeks +. She was more difficult though of course because she is so big and so old. I had to carry her everywhere including everytime she had to pee so it was really difficult and her being aggressive over her leg didn't help either. So I truly think your girl will do just fine. I think if it had been Harley who had torn his acl the whole fiasco would have been a lot easier. Good luck! You're both in my prayers. Keep us updated

| I am so happy to hear Elle is doing good. Recovery does take a long time. But in a couple of months she will be a BRAND NEW GIRL!!! Since my Roxy 'got her new set of wheel' - she has turned into a more confident and happy little Yorkie! It makes me feel so good to see the New and Improved Roxy Girl! P.S. We can't wait to meet some time at a Yorkie Meetup |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | glad to see she is doing so well after surgery. Kim and Nicole gave you excellent advise. And the hydro therapy is wonderful for the legs. Keep up the good work. You'll have a brand new girl in a few weeks
