Some dogs with mildly luxating patellas do very well - never have any severe problems - and never need surgery.

This is just something you have to keep an eye on. You pup may do fine - but if she continues to have problems and the problems become more severe, causing her more discomfort -- you may be looking at surgery.

I have known several dogs that have had surgery for this - and are doing very well.

Put "Patella" or "Patellas" in search. We just had some posts on this very subject. I think it may have been in the main Yorkie discussion forum. But, anyway there is a lot of information there.

Good luck!
