Hi , i am sorry your baby has a bad leg.
You do need to have him examined again though.
You need to know if it is "luxating patella" and what grade it is.
My shih tzu just went for her exam and vax and i found out she has
luxating patella in both needs. It is a grade 1.
At this point she is not limping and in no pain.
My vet said to keep an eye on it for now.
The best thing is to keep her weight down , feed her a high quality food and i also give her glucoasmine/chondroiton supplements with
hylaronic acid to strengthen and lubricater her joints..
Vet said she may go her whole life with no further problems ...
