Luxating Patellas

[gemstone]

My new rescue dog is booked for LP surgery tomorrow

Since I've only had her a few weeks the rescue people very kindly referred me to their vet for a rescue discount.

She is 3.5 year old JR x and lifts her leg constantly even after a few paces.

The vet I saw initially didnt tell me what grade it was just that we should do it sooner rather than later and risk arthritis

Good luck to all the LP dogs!!

an interesting update (and good news)

I dont have the full details yet as it was my partner that took her

The vet today told us that Gemma didnt need surgery

She has pain in her knee joint but does not have LP

She has to get a weekly injection for the next 4 weeks and we'll take it from there

I wonder now if some dogs get this surgery when its not needed?
