Nothing else out of the ordinary. when I took her to the vet last week (she had a stitch that never dissolved from her spay surgery), I asked about luxating patellas. She said Bailee had them in both legs. In just a week, she is now lifting her right hind leg at times, but she does not seem to be in pain??
I have done reading and talked to another vet, and he said just to keep an eye on her?? Some dogs as long as they are not in pain, can live with this??
I am heartroken. My baby is only 9 months old. |
Our Bella was diagnosed with LP after I noticed that she kept one of her hind legs up most of the time. My vet told me that Bella had a couple of years before arthritis would set in, but the sooner the surgery, the better the prognosis. Here is the thread about Bella's surgery and recovery:

Edit: Bella was 15 months old when she had her surgery.
