luxating patellas My little guy has stage one luxating patellas in both back legs... I have read that jumping makes it worse. If you are standing up he will just hop away on his hind legs.... should I not let him do this? |
If you post this in the Sick & Injured / Emergencies Talk section you might get some responses. My 3 lb. senior has LP and has had surgery on one knee. The other is a "might." Jumping off of couches or beds are not good ideas. I have ramps for mine. Stairs also work well. Good luck. |
Just want to say hello and welcome :) There are a lot of members here dealing with the same as you are so I know you will get a lot of support and advice... |
Walking would be a good way to help and also gluclosamine chondroitin (people formula) Generally surgery isn't done unless it becomes a grade 3. Don't let him do a lot of jumping. These guys are good at doing that, and almost impossible to stop and is why most small breeds do have this problem. |
