Default Luxating Patella Recovery Question

Hi All,


I have an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon on Oct. 7 to discuss Thumper's Luxation Patellas in both knees. What are some questions I should ask? If I do go ahead with surgery and I am very hesitant is that they both be done at the same time.


Right now he is acting normal and happy no limping what so ever. The concern my current vet has is that as time passes he will develop arthritis and be in more pain. He also cannot take NAISDs due to a liver issue.


How long was the recovery time. I work full time and cannot be with him if its longer than a week. If I do get the surgery I will get it done around Christmas time as I have a week off work and a couple work from home days available to me.


I would love to hear others experience with the recovery and how you managed working full time with a recovering pup for a longer period of time.


Thanks!
