We put a ton of effort into making this video. It took over 40 hours of filming, gathering footage, and editing-essentially a full work week! Editing was tough as it was painful to look back. You might find that we place more KZfaq ads in this video to compensate for our time to produce a video packed with information and educational value, but we hope you can understand and continue to support us! 🤍 None of the products/services mentioned are sponsored. Check out our custom pet embroidered clothing line here ➡ www.sigmapooch.com We're not asking for donation/handouts; we've set up this store so you can support us while getting top-notch custom pet clothing.

Oh that hurt my heart to see CeCe looking so pitiful but what a smile on day 4!! My Pom is now 14 months old and at 8 months I noticed some issues. He would be running and chasing the ball and just start crying and limping. Took him to the vet and found that he has grade 2 luxating patella. I started him on a joint supplement, and he has had no more incidents. I'm hoping this surgery isn't in our future but if it is I am so glad you made this video so I would know what to expect. I am so glad she is doing well!!

Oh nooo I’m sorry your little boy is diagnosed with luxating patella too! I’m so glad the supplement has been working well for him!! This is a very common problem for Pomeranians and not all of them require surgery. A lot of the time it can be managed with joint supplement, weight management and a bit more caution to avoid sudden change of direction or jumping from sofa/bed ot slipping on slipper surface. I hope he doesn’t need a surgery! ❤️

My 2 year old, 8lb male pomeranian Milo (looks a lot like Cece, except male and with brown nose and green eyes) went through the same surgery about a year ago and coincidentally, on the same leg too. If you have or is considering getting a Pomeranian, you should get pet insurance and get your pet covered immediately. I am thankful to have the pet insurance or the surgery would have been very expensive. The medication provided is the same, Meloxicam, but in Milo's case he was ok with us using ice and I think that provided a lot of relieve and he didn't have the same issues with itch. Another difference is our surgeon provided instructions to help exercise his legs during the recovery process, basically helping him move his legs in a bicycle motion. And the exercise routine later included daily short walks which are then slowly extended to help him recover, very similar to physical therapy done with humans. We live in the suburbs or Washington State so living situation is a little different, we have lot more space for Milo to move around in but we basically have him stay in our home office during the day while I work from home and simply close the office door to prevent him from running out, and he sleeps on our bed at night. The main thing is to prevent him from jumping or making sudden moves which can prevent proper recovery. If your dog gets very hyper, you can ask your vet to provide calming medication which will make your dog sleepy. We used it a couple of times but Milo is a pretty calm fellow and he was ok without it. The shaved fur grew back quickly, one of the advantages of Pomeranians, their fur grow quickly if you give them a proper diet. Milo was able to walk properly after around 14 weeks without limping but it took a very long time for him to recover the full motion and strength of the leg. If I recall correctly it was around a full year before he was back to full strength, so be patient, do regular exercise for physical therapy and your dog will do a full recovery in time.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It helps a lot to know what to expect in terms of the timeline! ❤️ Did Milo have the ACL or the Patellar Luxation surgery? I’m so glad you had insurance to cover majority of the cost!! For us, unfortunately insurance wasn’t an option since we moved to the US with them later in their life and by then they already had a lot of problems on their health record. This means that our claims will most likely be rejected on the basis of pre-existing conditions not to mention extremely expensive premium ($150/month). But yes I agree with you and always recommend people with a healthy puppy to start getting insurance right away when their dog still has a clean health record to avoid paying a hefty bill like we did :( I asked and my surgeon didn’t recommend any physical therapy exercises. He only told me to start walking her after 2 weeks in slow, controlled and leashed walks with gradual increase in length. He said that Cece will work it out on her own with her normal daily movements. I wasn’t sure at first since I watched a lot of KZfaq videos and saw that they always came home with some sort of exercises but then I realized he’s right Cece kinda did those on her own as she often does a lot of stretching throughout the day haha. But yea different surgeons will have different approaches 😁

@@CeceFamily It was the patellar luxation surgery for Milo, no ACL thankfully. On the pet insurance, I forgot to mention that you should also check with your employer and see if there is a company sponsored or discounted plan. During the pandemic, many employees adopted pets and quite a no. of companies started offering pet insurance for their employees as a benefit. Milo's plan is half-priced as my employer has a sponsored plan with Pets Best, you or your spouse might want to check with the benefits department of your employer about this. Good luck with the recovery!

Oh thank you for the tip of this dog collar. I just went through surgery with my Pom and he had a horrible time with each surgery collar I got. As he was almost finished his recovery I just ordered that soft collar you suggested. So I truly didn’t get a chance to use it but I will get him use to the collar as you never know when you need it. Pons pettulas are frail and also a problem I’m sure this may be what CeCe was dealing with. I’m glad she is better. She is such a sweat little girl. Thanks again.❤
