I took my dog to a few vets when I noticed that she was limping. I took her to her regular vet who diagnosed her with a luxating patella but could not tell us the grade. He recommended an orthopaedic surgeon who I took my puppy too. He said that hers was bad and that it was out of place more than it was in. He did xrays and in the xrays the knee was in place. He also told us that he prefers to do both knees at once because it makes it easier for recovery. He checked her other knee and said it was fine. He told us that if he could make it pop out he would which i thought was a bit off. I took her to my husband's regular vet that he has been using for five years. he also does the surgery and he said that he would absolutely not give her the surgery. I have been giving her the joint supplements that the ortho recommended which are synovi g3 and i order them off amazon. I have also been walking her more because that is supposed to strengthen up the knees too! Good luck! |
