My Tia had the same symptoms and the doctors said it was either perthes or dysplasia and the good news is she had FHO femoral head ostectomy and runs as fast as my other 2 today! It did take some time to heal and at times I questioned if she would limp forever. Its usually not the luxating patella when they won't put any weight on it at all. And the only way to diagnose is with an xray for perthes or dysplasia. |
