Exactly what I was going to explain. Right now, Cesar's is only in one knee and I swear, it never seemed to have bothered him until after the vet checked him for it and showed me how it slipped in and out. Since that time, on two occasions, he has yelped as if in pain and "favored" his leg but it hasn't lasted and now I know to watch him. And like I said in my previous email, the vet did say that it would probably require surgery in the years to come..

However, it occurs in different grades, so Jaelyn’s just isn’t bad enough to require surgery. That’s a good thing! – em J From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Jabby-Chihuahua-Luxating Patella Sorry, I haven't had this problem. The closest I've come is the vet told me Jaelyn's knees were slipping out of place? I asked what that meant and she told me that it could cause arthritis later on in life. :( Jesslan Foster Mom @ Shih Tzu & Fur Baby Rescue - http://www.stfbr.com/ Volunteer @ Chautauqua County Humane Society - http://spcapets.com/ Furever Mom To Doggy - Jaelyn Fur ever Mom To Kitties - Lucius, Gypsy, Kylee and Ethaniel Visit My Kitties, Doggy & Fosters - http://mdnyhtkyss.com/cattitude/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "argosy68" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 6:31 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Jabby-Chihuahua-Luxating Patella > Has anyone else here gone through this?
