Hello
So I have a 9 month old Jack Russell Terrier who is the best things since sliced bread.
Unfortunately last week on Tuesday her knee popped out as she leapt out the back door and she cried out - this then happened again on Thursday when she came to run and jump on me so I called the vet. As expected it was Patellar Luxation in one hind and she went back in on Friday for X-Rays. She has been diagnosed as grade 2 and referred to the orthopaedic surgeon however our consultation isn't until September!!
I'm assuming we will just get the surgery to put a groove in the bone but I just feel a little bit in limbo that I have to wait two and a half months? She isn't totally lame, it comes and goes but I'm not supposed to let her do zoomies or really walk her.
Just wanted to know what other people experiences have been?
Thanks
