Thanks YorkieMalt for your reply, I did read that other thread thoroughly, you were very detailed in your babies recovery, thanks for sharing that.
Majic50 thanks for sharing as well, I believe medial explains to what side of the leg the patella is located. One vet mentioned most dogs that have this genetically have some degree of curve in the femur. From my research on the internet,
http://www.carltonvet.com.au/luxating-patella it seems that most LP surgeries are done without cutting the femur. That site has a video of how the surgery is done & explained, pretty neat.
I'm very worried about this and researching so that I can do the right thing for Jazzies legs.
