 Thank you so much for the responses, and the other question...
I can't stand the thought of a four week confinement. I simply can't stand it. I think I'll wait to see if it seems to be painful. I don't allow the one that has it to try to jump off and on the couch or bed, or even to go up and down stairs. I carry her. Sometimes she just runs up and down our deck stairs before I can catch her (they're quick), and I'm trying to break her of that. I'll monitor closely and think about surgery as soon as it becomes a problem so there's no serious damage.
The question I asked in my last posting about detecting patellar luxation...do any of you have any tips on that? I'm going to look at the new puppies on Sunday, and I'd be very grateful to know what to look for since I won't be able to return them once I get them.
Warmest regards to all,
