My girlfriend is a vet, she said that every time the patella luxates, it causes pain even though the dog may not show it. I wish your little one the best with the surgery and recovery. |
Hi, thanks for sharing. I hope Gracies surgery goes Great. I will keep her in mind throughout the day and say prayers for her. Can you tell me her age? In Jazzies case the piece that is supposed to go over her knee stays permanently to the side, according to the vet. She shows no signs of pain, she stands on her back legs which I discourage, she runs, walks, & plays as well. So I am thinking of getting yet another opinion, I just want to does one put the pup through surgery even if its not showing symptoms of limping, holding the leg in? things that are commonly displayed with LP, perhaps you can ask your vet friend? I don't want Jazzie to be in pain, I don't want her to be crippled, either. I don't want to do the wrong thing for her either, you know?? I'm very, very worried about this.
