| Luxating patellas cause arthritic changes and cold weather aggravates arthritis. It's probably a good idea to have him rechecked, though. His LP's may have gotten worse. |

Uni doesn't seem bothered any more or less by the weather. I still haven't seen her lift her leg since that one time. *crossing fingers* Hope hers stays the same.

| The OP and i are both in CA actually. She is about 30 miles from me, and it has been unseasonably cold here the last few weeks, down to about 40, which hardly every happens. Then today it was in the 70s again.

| My dog Daisy had two grade 4 LPs diagnosed when she was 8 weeks old. She had surgery on one leg at age 2 after she became lame. The other leg has never needed surgery. We live in New England and have brutal winters. Daisy is not affected by the cold at all -- however if her leg is bothering her or going in and out of place, I immediately crate rest her for several days in order to alleviate any trauma to the area. We do not use any supplements for LP. Daisy is now 10 years old.
