Romeo is faced with the same. This time the left, hind leg "gave out" and the vet had trouble putting the patella back in place. The right leg is a grade 2 and after consulting with the vet, I opted for surgery on the left leg (for exactly what you said -- if both legs become an issue at the same time then Romeo would be immobile).
We are leaving home shortly for the ortho surgeon's office. As soon as I get an update on Romeo's surgery I will inform everyone.
Thanks for ALL your positive thoughts and prayers.
