My sisters Yorkie Ada is almost 2. At the age of 1 she was told her patellas move to much and to be watched. She thinks at the age of a little over a year it popped out completely and Ada yelped and wouldnt walk on it for a lil bite but eventually went back to her normal spazzer self. SHe is very active runs, jumps, is walked, and keeps up with Diggy quite well.
What should she watch for?
Are there tests she can have ran to find out exactly if she has them and how bad, if so what are they called.
I have read supplements can slow down the rate at which the Patellas get worse, is this true, if yes, what supplements?
oh and Ada is Bella and Diggys full sister, the vet said theirs do not move and felt fine....should i have them tested yearly if there are tests available? Should I trust the vet just "feeling" them?
Thanks in advance for all replies and help!
She avoids letting her jump as much as possible, but as you all now....theres not much slowin a yorkie down!!!!
