My Lupita also has slipping patellas. Even though both rear legs were affected, she had more problems with her left. I had her knee operated and it is fine now. it took her about a week to really start walking on it, and she does still favor it at times. However, she would still play and run. It took almost a year for her hair to fully grow back, they shaved it to operate and it looked like a little chicken leg. I decided to operate because she would spend more time hiding in her crate than walking around. The other leg never seems to have a problem. -- em :)

My chi is only 16 months and her leg is getting affected at least twice a week. I think she is grade 1 and I know they operate at grade 3 and 4 but I just need to talk with someone who has experienced this condition. Dorothy " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
