We knew Duncan had one luxated patella, but now both knees slip. It's now so bad that he walks like a cowboy in the rear and a bulldog in the front. He's developed a bad limp in the front left leg and is having a lot of pain. He loves to run and play and he can't. He snaps and clicks with any quick movement.
BTW, he's a Cavalier King Charles spaniel (you probably know that). He's very large boned for the breed and we're keeping his weight down. He weighs 22 lbs. The vet said today he should have surgery to correct the luxation because that's what's causing the limp.
We have a consulting appointment with the orthopod on Thursday. I hope this will fix his problem.
I know that CatandJim had a thread started about the same issue. It was very helpful.
He's such a darling it makes me want to cry knowing now that his knees are so bad. Please send good thoughts his way.
Thanks for listening.
