Good luck with the surgery. I am sure she will do fine. It sounds like many
people on this list have dogs who have had successful knee surgery.

Yes, I am pretty sure that is what she has. The vets said that
her right knee is really bad and that if she doesn't get the surgery, she will
develope arthritis.

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.
