| most of us are dealing with Luxating Patella (Slipping knee caps) that's the problem right??? did the vet give you a grade... like 1 2 3 or 4??? layla is grade 2 but the vet is not worried. There are many on here who have gone through surgery. I'm sure they will post on here to help you but try searching LP surgery. Good luck! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry to hear that. Cali was diagnosed with Grade 4, the worst, and she will be 3 in June. She has not shown that her knees bother her now so the vet said just to wait and see. She told me she had a dog that had grade 4 LP and lived to 13 and never needed surgery. Some dogs are bothered by it and need the surgery. Many people on here have had the surgery with good results, hopefully they will respond here.
