Poor little ice bad knee

First topic message reminder :

Went to the vets last week had X-rays and ice has a problem with her patella keeps popping out she goes in on Friday for a op 

Always worry sick when the dogs are poorly has anyone else had this problem and how are they now after the surgery 

Good luck with the physio and the hydrotherapy Andy - here's hoping Ice will benefit from both    

Right latest update

Ice had to have a second patella op and they had to move some bone,s to get the leg straight as the knee cap was still popping out 
After a few pins screws and a few months of complete rest ( yes a night mare for a staffy to chill) she,s seems very good 
She has to go to the vets next week for a final x ray hopefully fingers crossed all ok bones fused together muscle gain in her rear hind leg and all the pins and wires staying wear they should be ,
Now a quick note for anyone that does not have insurance it cost a total sum of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, wait for it..............£4798 to date with another X-ray and consultation fee I guess will hit the 5k mark , so the insurance has paid vid the lot   If they hadn't I would of still paid as you do but been in a bit of financial difficulty etc

I would always insure Rocky too Andy, wow that kind of expense would hard to find for us.

Hope all goes well for Ice on her final check at the vets  

It's definitely imperative to have insure like you said Hun    hope alls good at the check up xx

Hope all goes well for Ice. We have insurance so no worries, 5K is alot of money for anyone now a days...............so glad your insurance paid out.

Yipeeeeee ice has had the all clear from the vetinary hospital she can now start having walk and I can start mixing my to together again , that's been a hard 6 mths seperating the two and only letting one have a walk ,

Very pleased to hear that the knee is now sorted, that must be such a relief. Andy, your avatar picture is upside down

ok will up date it , it's a very big relief back to normal hopefully

Brilliant news, so glad to hear this   

Me to , just like to thank everyone who took time out to read and send some lovely comments ice said woof woof woof too

thats such good news,so pleased for you   

A up date on ice one month ago ice developed a limp on the other leg, and yes she has just had the same op on the other one , she was just getting to the point of back to normal and boom hear we go again ,good news 2 week out of op she is doing great and 1 min walk and about to take her up to 2-4 min walks   , she seems very happy but trying to keep a three year old staffy still and confined is very very hard lol

Aww poor little Ice, hope she is better soon   

Poor girl, I hope she recovers quickly xx

Aww.. feel for Ice and you Andy. We had the same with Stella when she was very young. First knee went when she was only 9months and the second one a year later. Hydrotherapy helped build the muscle up and she has taken glucosamine and chondroitin daily since. She now suffers with arthritis in both her back legs and front knee but still gets around well if rather slowly.  Stella sends:(hug): to Ice

Blimey ice has had it rough. I feel for you having had my Flo go through one leg op. we've been told that she will need the other done eventually. Glad you're finally at the last stage and managing to start the walks.
