My Jimathy now 1y 8mos had his operation a little over 8mos ago on both his hind legs (left was 5 right side 3.) He had his limb since he was 4mos old. The operation, I was told, went just as it should have. I did everything that the doc told me to do about aftercare. Had his checkup that was okay. My problem is he's starting to hold up his left leg again. It's not broken. Can he get this patella a 2nd time? I thought this was something they were born with and runs in their blood line, that why you shouldn't breed them. (I got him for breeding) I pd $2900 for his operation ( he is worth every penny of it too) Will I have to pay a 2nd time or should they be responseable..The ortho Doc comes only once a month to my vets, so i'm waiting. Has any one out there had this happen to them?
