We have the most gorgeous little Toy Pom - five and a half months old. About a week ago, we noticed she was limping and favouring her back right leg. We initially thought that Codie, our older Toy Pom was playing rough with her and didnt worry too much about it, but we kept an eye on them playing together
Over the next few days, the limping became more pronounced, and she would hesitate to run up and down the stairs, lie down a lot more, and not jump off the bed as frequently (she's still too little to jump onto the bed her own). On Saturday afternoon, when Raine, my daughter, and Caitlynn and Callan, my grandaughters, wanted to take the two dogs for a walk, Tila wouldn't go ! She just lay down in the middle of the road and Raine had to bring her back, and leave her behind while they took Codie.
So after much deliberation, we decided it was time to take her to the vet. The short version is Tila is having an operation this afternoon. She has a luxating patella, or "floating knee" as some call it. The op has to be done by a specialist - no more just normal vets anymore... there are vets like gps and then there are "specialists."
So - sitting here on the edge of my seat and watching the time pass by.
