| The vet said right now we should leave it alone but she probably will need surgery in the future on both legs. I can't imagine how she would walk if she has both legs done at the same time.

I wouldn't trade my Cali buns for the world but I definitely don't think a tiny dog is for everyone. Constantly worrying about her is so stressful. Is the house too cold today? Should I turn the AC on or off? If I turn it off, will she get overheated? I'd like to try this new food, will the kibble pieces be too big for her to chew? Can she possibly choke on them? When she drinks water out of a bowl, she sometimes gags because her nose is so close to her mouth. So she has to drink out of a free-standing water bottle. Everything with her has to be analyzed and thought out first, there is no simplicity. Is she worth it? ABSOLUTELY!! I just have to always be extra extra careful with her.

| There is a very well recommended Vet in Huntington, NY. Dr. Miller Animal Wellness Center 20 West Hills Road Huntington, NY 11746 631-351-0447 He is into Holistic and Chiropractic Vet care. I just recieved a booklet of his services, write ups about him and testimonals. There is one story about a Yorkie with LP. Her regular Vet said surgery, but she took the Yorkie to Dr. Miller. He treated the Yorkie for 5 months with holistic treatments and chiropractic treatments. She didn't have to have surgery after that, but she sees Dr. Miller 1x every 3 months for continued treatments. (That lady was from Medford, NY) Anyway, it might be worth a shot if you'd like to NOT have him go through surgery. Let me know if you go there and what you think? Thanks! ...also, I just ordered Synovi G3 Granules for my guys. I got it from www.petexus.com |

| Poor little Cali. I'm so sorry she's been diagnosed with LP. It has to be so heartbreaking for you. Bless her sweet little heart. I'll say a prayer!

| I'm so sorry for poor little Cali. Not sure where you got her from, but have you contacted her breeder to let her know. I'm sure she'd want to maybe help you on some of the bills since it is a genetic thing. I'll be keeping her in my prayers!!! |

| Poor little Cali. What a trooper she seems to be. So tiny but so determined. I hope she can stay pain free for sometime to come Jenn. It's a shame you have to go down that road again. I also hope the new antibiotics work for her cold. Hugs, |

| So sorry to hear about little Cali. My Gracie was also just diagnosed with LP in both back legs. I will send positive wishes Cali's way.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Jen I can't imagine her having surgery - not to mention the cost....plus what SHE cost omg - we're talking about the same price as a car now - I'm so sorry this is happening and I just pray she isn't in pain now or in the future - Do they think she can live without surgery or is it a must in her future ? Have you told her breeder this is a genetic problem and she needs to not breed those dogs anymore ? |

I told the breeder and she told me the mama dog is already spayed and she will notify the stud owner.
