I have wonderful news!!! I took Bachee to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday and he said Bachee doesn't need surgery
!!! He told me he only has between a grade 1 and 2 luxating patella. He didn't feel any arthritis and since he isn't showing any signs of pain then he doesn't need to be operated on. He could stay his whole life like this or get worse, I pray that doesn't happen. If he starts to show signs of pain then he said to call him and after asking me several questions he can decide if surgeon is necessary. He also said he has a 10 year old dog who has had a grade 3 LP and he is fine and doesn't need surgery. I was so happy with this news I felt like hugging the surgeon--LOL
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback and advice you gave me on this condition. I am very well educated on LP's now and will know what will happen in the future if he gets worse, which again I pray doesn't happen.
