How bad are her knees? Luxating patellas force them to modify their gait to compensate and puts abnormal stress on other joints. If her knees are Grade 3 or 4, she needs surgery. |
You know I honestly don't know if he checked her shoulder. He was kind of quick with it and then took her to the back to see her walk. He made it seem as though I was taking up his time. Which is why I'm definitely asking for her regular vet.
Neither vet gave an exact grade. They just said "they were slightly loose". Neither gave a "grade". I'll ask the next time she goes in, which will hopefully be this week.
The vet I'm not happy with said, that they make get worse when she gets older meaning surgery but right now it wasn't anything to worry about. Just keep her from jumping a lot. I had to ask him about glucosamine and he said yes go ahead and give it to her daily.
