Maggie has grade 3 luxating patella in both back legs. We found out after her and our older yorkie, Ginger, got into a fight one day and Ginger took Maggie down backwards real hard. We took her to the vet and he told us Maggie has grade 3 LP and talked to us about it. He gave her a shot and some pills and told us to keep her calm and restrict activity for awhile. She got better after a couple days and we restricted her activity for a couple weeks. She has been normal since then (about a year). The vet told us that we can either do surgery or we can wait and see if her LP gives her chronic problems. We chose to wait and see. The vet agreed with our decision and said we can discuss it again if she has any continued problems with it. So far she hasn't had any other issues. Maggie is 3 now.
