I'm glad he's doing better. I think if there was swelling, the joint won't pop back in... but when the swelling goes down, it went right back in. Usually surgery is done when it won't go back in, swollen or not, or if a dog is showing pain and non-weight bearing.
When I took Finny to the vet for diarrhea, the vet said her knee was out, but not to worry, she popped it back in right there. I have no idea when it went out, she had no symptoms or anything, lol. Walks and runs fine, no yelping and always weight bearing. I will be keeping a closer eye on her though. |
