Patellar luxation

Post by RoseRich » Tue Aug 23, 2011 2:10 pm

It seems that my 10 month old dog has patellar luxation in both rear legs. Surgery will be needed for at least one of the legs. Does anyone have any experience with this? Questions to ask? How to pick a vet surgeon? Rehab? Surgeons in Texas or Houston area?

Thanks.

I would go to Yahoo groups and join the "orthodog" group. You should be able to get recommendations there for ortho surgeons in your area. Also, lots of information within that group pertaining to the surgery, rehab, etc.
