Thank goodness for Buster and Jack, they have taken good care of me. It's really really black and blue now but all in all I am relieved with the outcome. Thanks for all you kinds thoughts.
Now on to your parents. Were they tested for genetic defaults prior to breeding? I mean... well I'm not exactly sure what I mean.  We all know that luxating patellas can be genetic
LOL Sadly I am a product of bad knee genetics. My Mom, Dad, and both brothers all have knee problems.   |
Hi, Carolyn.
Sheila & I are so happy that you do not need surgery!
I have bad knees, too. They were so bad, at one point, they actually made squishing sounds as I walked up the stairs. And they hurt like the devil.
But Sheila's DO recommended that I take Glucosamine Chondroitin, and after 6-8 months, believe it or not, they stopped hurting.
But you must continue it your entire life.
