It is called Luxating Patella - There are only 4 Grades and it doesn't heal itself and it will only get worse.

IMO - I would get an appt. with an Ortho Specialist to evaluate his knees and discuss the options with you.

Roxy and TJ both have LP. Roxy had surgery to stop the luxation and she is a brand new girl. TJ's isn't that high of a Grade (yet) - but if he gets worse, he will have surgery too.

IMO - Grade 3 and Grade 4 - there's no question, surgery is a must

Best of Luck and let us know what happens.

P.S. If you do a search here on YT for Luxating Patella - You'll find lots and lots of thread
Thank you so much, I am going to start doing my homework and see what my options are with Vets out here!! Again, thank you I will too check them out.
