Hi,
I have a question for you. My Yorkie who is 3.5 lbs or so has this luxating patella as well. He is 4 years old now and has never shown any symptoms before this Saturday 09/06. He has not been limping I would say but has been holding up his right back paw sometimes and has acted like he was in pain. When I took him to the vet today he did not act like he had been and the vet could not find anything wrong except to say he still had a mild case of the luxating patella and it could act up from time to time. He did not think he would benefit from a supplement but I am wondering. What would your opinion on the matter be? Years ago I had a poodle who had the luxating patella and was on supplements that I feel really helped her so I am wondering now. Thank you for any suggestions you may want to offer me.
