Hi All,
 
I need some assistance with my daughter's Yorkie.  This girl has a luxated 
patella and can't lift her one rear leg.  Her other rear leg shows signs of the 
same problem and is taking up the slack for the bad leg.  Surgery is not an 
option at the moment as her liver enzymes are elevated.  Has anyone out there, 
who has a small breed dog, dealt with the luxated patellas?  Are there braces 
or other options available to get her comfortable until surgery or that can 
help realign the knee?  The dog does not seem to be n pain unless she overdoes 
things.  But, trying to keep a Yorkie quiet and calm is almost worse than a GSD.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Laura Thomas
