The contract I got from the breeder does not cover anything non life threatening. I don't think luxating patelas will kill a little one. I certainly hope not. I will see an orthopedic specialist soon when I can get a weekday off from work and see what their opinion is regarding surgery.

Thank you so much for the amazing advice.

Trust me as a breeder I would want to know about LP. And while LP is not life threatening it can be life altering. Some breeders even if the contract doesn't hold them to helping - will if you allow them to, offer to help in some way. I would wait until I got the specialists opinion and then email the breeder with their written assessment and recommendation(s).


My advice is no substitute for a trained canine physiotherapist and it goes with out saying an ortho specialist.
