Today got really cold and he really hobbled around for a few mins after he got up from lying down. Does anyone know if this is normal for luxating patella to be aggravated by the cold? Its still not popping out of place (where he raises his leg for a min) just looks like he is sore.....I feel so bad, he looks like a little old dog with arthritis and he is only 3!!!

Hot Rod had lp surgery in march of this year for a grade 3 lp. He is slow in moving first thing in the mornings and I cannot tell if it is from the cold but he seems to take a little longer in moving around outside. Once he gets going, he's fine. Our vet told us that it take up to a year to fully recuperate. Good luck and let us know how you make out.
