Chihuahua has slipped knee joint!* UPDATE* Pictures

[bckrazy]

I'm so happy she's ok, now her Grandma who loves her so much won't have to worry! =) It's definitely commendable that her Mom & Dad acted so quickly on her pain, it does sound like it was severe, and it's definitely better that it is done while she's young and can still heal quickly.

If I were in their position, I would've done the same, because a severe knee problem is not something to take lightly - it is painful as heck. If one of my pups had a severe knee issue (and, with Fozzie being a Corgi and from God-only-knows what kind of breeder, bad knees are a possibility), I would rather keep them calm for a few weeks & endure the sugery than allow that pain to continue.

Also, if you haven't already told them, they NEED to let the breeder "friend" know! She should NOT be breeding Chihuahua's that are so structurally unsound. Even if the breeder won't recompensate them (guessing she won't...) for the surgery, maybe telling her to stop breeding will save many more innocent puppies from the pain that your little girl had to go through.

Oh Yes, I told my daughter-in-law on the phone this morning., about the mentioned contract. Her friend from work is still breeding and selling Chihuahua dogs . While I am not one to stir up a stink, I feel obligated to speak up on behalf of her future buyers. My daughter-in-law was slient, on the other end of the line, when I told her about Proper Breeding and Professional Exchanges. Her friend from work needs to educate herself in this area. , I am inclined to think that she is only after the $$$$$$.

Miura is back home now and I will be going to visit her later today.

The Specialist from Grand Rapids advised them to assist Miura when she needs to go outside to do her duty along with keeping her safely away from rigorous activity for 10 weeks!!!!

No jumping and no stair ways!!!

I hope I can get a decent picture of her to share with you.

Our prayers are still going out for little Miura, Dorothy. Can't wait to see a pic of her

**prayers** coming your way from me, too.
It's so much for such a young puppy to go through.
But hopefully after the recovery period and some physical therapy she will be jammin'.
It makes me so sad that these recessive genes are running rampant. *tear*

Here are two pictures taken yesterday of Miura. Just look at that Poor Babys' Leg. The incision was made on the front/side of her knee is is nearly 3 inches long. She received a good report on the ridges that support her patella, so that comforts me a great deal.

And, look at the cute bed I bought for her!!!!

(Doesn't she look like she is pulling her skirt up?) A bit of my "zany" humor added

Poor baby girl. She's such a precious puppy.
And that bed looks like a perfect fit. *Thanks Grandma*
