You may or many not need to have surgery but it is best to get it checked out. He may be able to have physical therapy to help. I think it is best for be informed. Make sure that if and when you have surgery that your surgeon knows what he is doing. Ask how many surgeries of this nature that he's done and if you do not feel comfortable, please find one that you do feel comfortable with. If you need more info please feel free to pm me. Hugs to you and your little one.
I just read that Grade 1 doesn't require surgery. I hope he doesn't have LP.
When I took him to his first vet check up, that's what I had the vet check out. He said he didn't have any loose knee caps.

Is this something that can develop over time?

I can't help but worry now...
