Alex has had luxation in both knees since he was a baby. Every once in awile he will let out yip or walk holding his leg up. When I went to the vet the other day she recommend the surgery as well. She said since he was young it might be better to do it now. She asked how often the yip happened. I told her not that often. She said if it starts to occur at least once every month then he should have the surgery. So I am watching him for the time being to see how often it happens. I never knew there was a surgery like this. It scared the living daylights out of me. Plus, I guess then he could get arthritis badly too. I would hate to put them through surgery, but if it only gets worse....
