| Luxating Patella When I took Sophie to the vet yesterday, they said she had Luxating Patella. I guess it is worse in one knee than the other. She doesn't seemed bothered by it now. Does anyone else have a pup with this problem? Any information or advice from anyone would be very appreciated. Thanks,

| My little girl, Chai, has a slipping patella in one knee. Sometimes they grow out of it and with some it is never a real problem. There are a few who have a real problem and need surgery. I am hoping she doesn't have a problem as she gets older. It is common with yorkies and the vet didn't seem concerned. |

| Hi! Gracie had surgery on both knees when she ws a year old. Scruffy had lp's but they never seemed to bother him. I would wait and see if it is painful to her before I considered surgery. Sometimes it never bothers them! |
