To sum it up as short as possible, Polly is 2 1/2 and has had her knee pop out 2x since we've had her (the last time this happened was over a year ago. It popped back within 1 minute or so) and doesn't appear to be in any discomfort. Our vet confirmed that she did have a luxating patella in her right leg at her last appointment about 9 months ago. I do notice that she walks a bit stiff, like she doesn't bend her knee properly. But seems to have no actual problems with running/jumping/taking walks etc. I've had her on a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement (Cosequin) for about 4-5 months now and do seem to notice a slight improvement. Some days appear stiffer than others. She's going to be going in for a check up in a few weeks with her vet, but just thought I'd inquire as to what everyones opinions were on patella surgery if it doesn't seem to be causing any pain and doesn't pop out of joint. :? Thanks!
P.S. Her parents and grandparents have all rated "very good" from the OFA but I know that doesn't always guarantee there won't be any problems
