| Hot Rods HomeAwwww sweet little guy. but OUTCH did you see those stitches. I bet Alaskayorkie could give you ideas on how to keep him less active during the 6 weeks to come. Of course Jack was in a cast wasn't he.

I will not be seeing Hot Rod's surgeon at his 2 week checkup as he will be out of town. I will plan on asking the vet we see then about this. He/she may or may not know (in the charts) as why he did the groove method. When he called me after his surgery, I asked whether a pin was necessary and he said that it was not. I only have to say that I very much liked the surgeon, he is board certified and he was also my neighbors new foundlands surgeon, and he has a yorkie himself. I have to believe that his choice of course of action was and is the best choice for Hot Rod. I can only hope that this is case. I would not want to have to repeat this as you unfortunately have had to do 2x and now possibly a 3rd time. Only time will tell.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | there are a few different ways to fix LPs but it depends on what the vet finds once he gets in there. sometimes they just deepen the groove and tighten the ligaments. sometimes they need to cut the bone and move it. and sometimes its not they have to put fishing line in too to replace any torn ligaments. So its not that one way is better then the other. It all depends on what exactly is wrong with the dogs stifle, patella, and cranial cruciate ligament. I'm glad to hear that Hot Rod is doing better today, though i did cringe when you said you bathed him. He shouldn't be bathed until his sutures are removed or dissolve. yes that makes a smelly dog but you can use baby wipes or dry shampoo. there is too great a risk for slippage in the tub and a greater chance of infection.
