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 KZbin ads in this video to compensate for our time to produce a video packed with information and educational value. 🙏🏻 SUPPORT US: ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/cecefamily ❓ Ask Me a Question: asqme.com/@Cecefamily 👉 Shop our merch: www.sigmapooch.com 👉 Shop Our Amazon Product Recommendations: www.amazon.com/shop/cecefamily 👉 Send Boo & Cece a gift: throne.me/u/cecefamily/wishlist 👍 Like, Subscribe, Turn on Notification Bell 🔔 and Comment ❤️

How did everything end up going? I'm pretty sure my dog will need the same. I find out in about a week or so.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It broke my heart to see you both suffering through this difficult surgery and recovery. You are very brave to show others how difficult it will be. I had my Sheltie go through a gall bladder surgery and I was so concerned about his pain and recovery. We love them so much and want the best for them. You are a great Pom mom and should feel very proud of your efforts to help others understand the process of this surgery and recovery. I adopted a Pom from a humane society and when he went to my vet for the first time he was diagnosed with a collapsed trachea and luxating patellas. I fear this surgery may be in our future! Stay strong and good luck with the recovery.

This is so useful thanks! I have lots of questions ready for my vet now. And it was useful to see them shaking and know it’s normal - as I KNOW if mine did that without me knowing it’s normal I would be straight down to the emergency vet and £400 poorer 😢

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 KZbin 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!

I have just found this youtube channel and watched 5 videos in a row and followed your instagam, I have 2 poms well 'german spitz' technically, however they visually look exactly like Cece but with a slightly longer snout. You are a very caring owner and It's really comforting to see how well you care for your little doggies. I'm sure they adore you just as much as you adore them! the day 12 video seemed very hopeful to see her play! Seeing poor cece in her bed on medication looking all sad reminded me of when mine were spayed (for health reasons recommended by the vet) they look so tired and sad :( Get well soon!

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!!

@CeceFamily 8 ай бұрын

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! ❤️

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.❤

My female maltese has been diagnosed with luxating Patella stage 3 on one knee and stage 1 on the other at 8 months old. I was going to bring her in for surgery at 14 months but my husband convinced me not to. My pet insurance was covering 100% at the time. Now she is two and a half years old and when I was grooming her you can see that she's really bowlegged and she cannot stand on her hind legs. So I took her to see another vet the first one was a specialist and it was going to cost about $4,500 to do both knees and now it's gone up in price. So I went to see a second veterinarian that did surgeries today. But he said she's not in pain so she was born with this and don't do the surgery. I was very surprised that he said that. And right now I'm watching a lot of videos about this and trying to decide if I should have the surgery and if I do should I do both knees or only one? My insurance now covers 80/20 with a $250 deductible. So it's going to be around $1500. I was curious what stage was Cece. I really don't want to do two knees at one time but it is a cost savings and to get it over one time surgery. Any thoughts would be appreciated

I'm so sorry for the delayed response! Your comment got buried in other comments during my travel so I completely missed it. Hmm first of all I would highly recommend seeing a specialist for this complex surgery - preferably one that is board certified. It's best to ask around the dog community in your area for recommendations. That's what we did when we were debating which surgeon/vet to go with - we asked around and 4/5 people recommended the same surgeon - and we knew right then that we had to go with this guy. I highly doubt that the vet can tell if she's in pain or not - if anything vet should know more than anyone that dogs are very good at hiding the pain. I'm not a vet so I will try to avoid giving you medical advice. However, I do have one piece of advice for you - listen to your own intuition when making the decision, we as dog moms often know what's best for our dogs since we spend the most time with them, and we often find/sense something wrong (or not wrong) with our dogs way before vets do with their expensive lab tests. If you think that she really has trouble standing on her hind legs, that's a good sign that the patella is affecting her quality of life. Personally, I would do one at a time. Doing both is a lot - if you do just one they will usually have the other leg to bear the weight on and can usually get around by themselves just fine after the first 1-2 days or so. However, if you do both, you will have a much harder time taking care of her since she can't lean on her other leg to walk so you'll probably have to constantly monitor her and trying to support her weight with a sling during the first few weeks.
