| Bella has been diagnosed with luxating patella Hey everyone! I havent been on in awhile ive been so busy with school. I need some feedback please. Bella fell off my bed sat morning and started to limp so I took her to the vets they said nothing was broke and she was fine but they said oh by the way she has luxating patella! I was shocked! I've never seen her limp or see any signs of luxating patella whatsoever! She's a grade 3 in her left and 1 in her right. I know there are a lot of people on here who's babies have it and at diff grades. My vet said she could go her entire life and be fine or she may need surgery. I was just wondering if any of your babies are a higher grade and have been able to have a normal life where it doesn't affect them? Thanks in advance

| I have a 3.5 lb. Yorkie that lived with LP for 9 yrs. before she had to have surgery on one knee. The other is pending. Now I have a 9 mo. old rescue Pommie who has been diagnosed with grade 4 LP and has to have surgery this summer.

| Well my vet gave her a physical exam and said they normally dont do Xrays until surgery. So i did some research just to make sure and thats what i found as well.
