Yes that's what it is...I just didn't want to try to spell luxated.
The vet said no surgery unless she is constantly limping (3 out of 5 days). Right now she is limping once a week at most. The water thearpy is supposed to help strengthen the muscles/tendons that hold the knee cap in place. I'm glad to hear that surgery worked well for Codie. It's nice to know that that is always an option if needed in the future.
