I am really sorry, but being through LP with both Roxy and TJ and from speaking with numerous Vet and numerous Ortho Specialist, and from all the research that I have done, MOST cases of LP in the small breeds are due to Genetics. It is VERY RARE that LP is caused soley on injury, very rare.
LP means that the patella luxates, but it's gonna luxate because their bone structure and poor strength in their ligements and muscle are going to ALLOW the patella to luxate when they take that jump or long walk or fast run around the corner. |
