Strengthening the muscles will do absolutly nothing to stop the luxation. In fact as in some cases it is the tibular muscle causing the luxation it may worsen it. The only remedy for this is for you to see your vet and ask for a refferal to an orthopedic surgeon, who can advise you if it is bad enough to require surgery.
Bruce is just healing from his LP surgery and is better than ever! I can say this after 2 consutlations it was determined Bruce would prematurely develop crippling arthritis without the surgery, and his was not even so bad to cause extremely visible "skipping".
I do not mean to sound harsh or what not I just know what a problem this can be for many of these little guys. |
