 How to diagnose Luxating Patella?
I have an appointment for Mya on Friday morning but of course my worry is getting the best of me.
I feel a pop in her left knee sometimes when I pick her up or am holding her (both when the knee is bent)...I have no way of telling if it happens when she walks. I did the bicycle movement that I saw the vet do and it didn't replicate it...I can only replicate it SOMETIMES when I am holding her with her knee bent and kind of flip the hip outward...not really extending the leg...isn't it supposed to pop when the leg is extended if it is LP?
It happens infrequently...so if she has it I would assume it is a very low grade...
A couple of months ago I felt a pop too and took her in to the vet and they couldn't replicate it...I am hoping this is the same thing! Does anyone know how to tell if it is LP? Or just a tendon/cartilage? |
