Hi, I took Petie to the vet. Xrays were taken, metcam (sp?) rx'd. She (vet) agreed w/ me that the dog did not seem to be in pain...said he would adjust and that surgery is generally not successful in these cases (slipped patella), and not to restrict nor push movement. Already he is putting a little weight on since the med, He was a trouper,,, $225 later but worth it, thanks everyone. Of course she did say he should lose weight (today he weighed 7' 11" but then the vet herself and Petie's owner (me) should lose weight too!!!)
