I should clarify the above post....
If a pup is older and has had patellar luxation, there is a higher probability of them tearing the cruciate ligament. If you do surgery to repair the LP the ligament is still in the same shape from being worn down over the years. Then, if the pup tears the ligament, you are looking at another surgery. He advises against surgery on LP for older pups mainly for that reason.... |
