| Rily has luxating patellar Rily has been a little lethargic the last couple of days, so I took him to see the vet this morning. He was diagnosed with luxating patellar. My vet put him on phycox and a diet. It appears Rily needs to lose a little weight. He weighed 9.08 and the vet said he shouldn't weigh more than 8 pounds. My vet doesn't think Rily will need surgery at this point. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Fancy, my 14 year old schnauzer is also very sick.

| It is the LP. Lethargic may not be the best word...what I meant was that he was not his usual "never still a minute" self. He would just sit and stare at me, like "Mom, something's not right." He would run a little bit, then sit down and lick his leg. My vet gave him a good checkup.

| I hope Rily loses some weight and becomes active again. I'm sorry Fancy isn't feeling well, either. Sending special prayers for both of your babies.

| Sorry to hear about Rily! But dogs with LP can still be very active... Im sure with a little weight loss and a good supplement... Rily will be running and playing again in no time! Good Luck and I hope both your babies start to feel better in no time.

| Awe...I hope they both feel better soon. I know how you feel. We never like seeing our furries in pain or not feeling right. My little Sydney just had surgery on both knees for LP. The bandages come off Monday. |
