YT 500 Club Member | finally relieved Zooey had her appointment with a board certified ortho surgeon yesterday. He said she does have grade one LP which explains her skipping in a fast pace walk. No x rays, just physical exam. Her knee popped out twice while he felt her kneecap. Moves to the outside of joint. But not very easy to pop out, so feels strong. Doesnt recommend surgery until it gets worse. Such as lameness, or walking on three legs with no weight on the right fear leg. I'm so happy its not worse, but may have to worry down the road, or if she injures herself. Thanks to all your prayers. A year of wondering finally put to rest!

| That is wonderful news! Did the doctor recommend a supplement or is Zooey already on one?

YT 500 Club Member | I was giving her supplements, glucosamine. But he said won't do anything for her. So I'm not sure what do do about that. He said her knee structure is strong. So I don't know! But yes, so happy its just a mild case.

| So happy to hear this! My surgeon says the same thing about glucosamine. I know that when I used it myself I got zero relief of symptoms.

YT 500 Club Member | Dolly has this when I had her up at the University of Illinois they put her on Dasuquin.Available only from your vet. They are a chewable tablet. Dolly loves them she knows she gets it after evening meal and if I forget she will go to the counter and bark to let me know |
