IMO the recommended LP surgery is "Cut and Pin" and Deepen the Grove and tighten the Ligaments. I would confirm this with the Orth Surgeon.
I bet, the first time around all they did was deepen the grove and tighten the ligaments. Plus if he was not kept in containment for the 8 week recovery, he could have easily slipped it out again.
Do a search here on YT for: Luxating Patella
You will find a great deal of info.
Remember, it is an 8 week recovery. The first couple weeks are only five to ten mins, leashed potty breaks - that's it!!!
As the weeks go by, you can give him a little more walk time. NO jumping or NO running. When he is not doing potty, sleeping or being held by you, he should be contained to a crate or expen. |
