I just came back from the vet and she disgnosed Zoe with luxating Patella. I can't bear this. I was heartbroken when he got neutered 2 weeks ago and now this? He was limping since last night and I found out today. I will not schedule the surgery until I get a second opinion. My regular vet was not open so I went to another one and they didn't even take a X-Ray! I would want to see the problem and have a few opinions before I schedule the $1000.00 surgery.

What do you guys think? What is the cause if luxating patella?
