Legg Perthes Stories

This is Dillon, he just had surgery on his Legg Perthes three days before this photo.
He is doing pretty well considering. His hip is swollen, but he has already started his therapy, he does not like it at all. As soon as the surgery area heals we will start water therapy.
He is a real doll. Thank you again for letting us have the surgery on Dillon. I know it is hard for you so many times making determination on all the dogs that come our way.
I just thank God and you for making this possible. He deserves a good chance at a pain free wonderful life.

11/2004 Starlette,
A California breeder sold Startlette and a male yorkie for $5000 as a breeding pair. At 6 months of age Starlette was diagnosed with bilateral legg perthes, this is a hereditary disease her vet recommended she remove her from her breeding program.
The Breeder was notified and refused to help in any way and said that she only guaranteed her dogs for three days after they left her home. She denied any responsibility or help for Scarlette for this hereditary problem.
Scarlette was surrendered to Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue with all of her papers and will start undergoing surgery in about a week.
