Unfortunately what's done is done and upon further reading up on this type of injury it could happen at any time during his life time with me.
The breeder told me about giving him Glusomamine for the joints but the vet told me that it won't do anything for his patella. It is only for cartiledge. Exercise might make it better or worst depending on his situation. So everything is a wait and see.
He loves jumping up and down so I can't seem to stop him from jumping. He needs his exercise too. So how much exercise is too much? He is alone with me so I try to keep him active and busy so that he isn't bored or missing his brothers; also to get him tired enough before going to bed at night since he is not a happy trooper when i place him in his crate @ night when I try to go to sleep. It takes him about 1 1/2 hours before he settles down, he whines, crys, barks till he gets tired I guess or until I don't hear him anymore.
I'm debating whether to keep him or not. She offered another dog to replace him but that would mean more an additional vet checkup on the other dog and me more $$$ out of pocket for for the exam, lab work etc. to be done again. And if this is hereditary then I'm facing the same thing down the road.
Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!!! I have been praying about this since I got the news and all day today.
I've read that some dogs just keep on w/o any major discomfort. I'm so confused right now.
