          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 :)

Subject: [Chihuahuas] Slipping Patella

Hi, my chi cross has a slipping patella and I would like to talk to 
anyone who has had this problem with their chi or can someone tell me 
sites where I can get advice from people. 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
