Hi everyone,
Yesterday I took Daezie to the vet for her bordetella(sp?)vacc and a physical exam. I told the vet that I always notice that she sits with her legs to the right, like she puts her weight in her left hi, not straight down.
so he ck her hips not by xray only by hand. and he said she has a luxated patella on her right back leg. he said that is okay for now and if it becomes out of place that it usually gets back in place. he also said that in time it could get worst and i would notice it if she limps. and depending on how bad it get she could need surgery.
he recomended for her not to jump too much and to loose weight :wacko: yeah...she is overwieght
has anyone have had any experience with this problem?
the vet said is pretty common with the small breed and just keep an eye on her.
should he had an xray to make sure that she has THAT problem? and is that why she sit like that?
any suggestions comments will be appreciated.
Thanks
Kenya
