You can Google luxating patella and there will be pages and pages of information. A one-year-old with stage 4 should have surgery. I would go to an orthopedic specialist. In the meantime, you can start a glucosamine supplement like Cosequin. If the vet didn't talk to you about any of this, I would find a new one.
