Why does she need knee surgery? Does she have Luxated Patellas? Usually, vets
will rate the luxation of the knee, ex. 1 2 3, ect. I think that most vets
will wait for surgery if the knees get so bad that the dog cannot function.
Most will tell you to keep an eye on the dog as he/she ages and that the dog
may need surgery when it is older. I believe that most very young dogs with
Luxating Patellas aren't bad off enough to need surgery. This is the info. I
gathered when I was looking into it (I almost adopted a Chi with Luxating
Patellas). I am not sure of your puppy's situation and I am sure your vet
knows what he/she is doing. But, IMO, you should at least get a second
opinion. She seems very young to have knee surgery.

Hi guys, I just joined this group. My baby Zoey, who is now 8 1/2
months old, needs knee surgery. Has anyone out there had experience
with this and do you have any tips or suggestions? I am really worried
about her as she is so young.
