Hi everyone,
Im new to this group but have some questions about luxating patella. I was in the "general" discussion group and there was a post about an 8 week old pup with this. I wanted to ask in a group that was for this specifically.
Now she had taken her pup to the vet just for routine stuff having just got her but how did the vet know her pup had this? Is this something that I should ask my vet about, do they test for it, or do I need to look for signs? Also what is the "grade" scale and what does it mean?
My Charlie likes to jump (he is 4yrs now and 10 lbs) and the breeder I got him from told me that yorkies are known to have knee problems as they get older because of that. I guess this is what she was talking about? Im not sure I can keep him from jumping. is it better to keep him very active so that his bones dont get weak or is it something that you cant do anything about.
Wow sorry didnt mean to go on so long
