| I think Peanut has a luxating patella I noticed Peanut lift his right hind leg a long time ago. Now he is 2 years and I have noticed him lifting his leg up more and more. Usually when he is walking.. he will either lift or kind of do a little skip. He still runs, never seems to be in pain. I was moving his leg around and touching it and he doesnt mind. He is showing no pain. It doesnt happen all the time. At first I thought he was lifting bc the ground was cold, but then he does it sometimes in the house.. I am a wreck! I have to wait a week for my check so I can take him into the vet, I know the vet will want to do xrays!! Does anyone have exp with this? Or advice?? Please help.

| They don't haaaave to do an xray to know if they have it. Some people can feel a loose patella. A vet will surely be able to tell. Do not allow jumping on/off furniture or things of this nature. No hauling butt. No long walks. Most vets say no to walks period, limiting it to only around the house. |
