Luxating Patella in Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals I do understand that you have some conflicts with your family about the cat going outdoors, but if you live on a busy road that is the best reason that he needs to be kept inside in some way. He already has an injury. Now that he is neutered, he...

...so eventually he was let out, only for him to come back home limping. The next day I took him to the vet and they said he had a luxating patella, so his knee cap dislocates on/off. If it gets worse he will need surgery, which they said is likely. They also neutered him for me on that day. I...

...a bit too. It's not if your cat has no billable events, it's if your cat has no recorded symptoms. So for example Magnus has mild luxating patella. The one vet thought I was asking about Calcifer's knees and on his first visit (which was to qualify him for insurance), checked Calcifer's...

Oh yeah this is really old - it was because he had a luxating patella on his knee and when he was lifting the leg that’s how he was popping it back into place. I had surgery done for him and he never did it again after the surgery.

...tasty. It has a lot of Vitamin C in it! My Mom had a dog that I think would have been great at agility, but, he had a lot of arthritis and was unable to do it. Livie has a grade 1 luxating patella and takes green lipped mussell powder for it. It does not bother her at all, but I'm mindful...

...always left ours out as a bed, put toys and treats inside. I find they'll go to it when sick or scared. As he grew, Magnus had to switch to a backpack because he has minor luxating patella and sometimes some nausea. Sitting up is better. It actually helped Nobel once his arthritis progressed too.

Thank you, that was a very informative link! I should’ve asked the vet today what grade they think he is, I’m presuming 1 as there’s no need for surgery and he’s putting some weight on the leg. Just need to hope it doesn’t develop into arthritis, or get any worse as it is now. Definitely no more...

...her incident, we took Harper to a specialty vet to see a neurologist. They found no problems neurologically, but noted she had a luxating patella where her knee would dislocate and they said that might explain her episode. Fast forward a few weeks and I found her under the table unable to...

...been nothing but hale and hearty (knock wood) in all his 12 years with us - just some surface dermatological issues and an ealier luxating patella, really - nothing that's particularly concerning health-wise. I do feel like he's still ruffled by his excessive stress at the vet on Monday, but...

...plastic carriers. Magnus has this one though: Top Paw Multi-Functional Backpack | dog Carriers & Crates | PetSmart He has minor luxating patella, so I don't want to risk more dislocation trying to get him in the hard carrier. Plus he gets nausea if he doesn't eat for awhile. Sitting up is...

He's a handsome boy. I have no words of advice, but I did a search of other threads an you might find some help there. Search Results for Query: luxating patella

...shape than the right patella. Now, it could be the angle of the legs but could be a sign of early stage arthritis or possibly a luxating patella. Basically that is the patella dislocates from where it's supposed to be but often they pop back in themselves and unless the vet is skilled in...

...car, but after her spay... she's been traumatized). The vet X-rayed her legs. She said her legs and spine look perfect. She has luxating patella on her right leg, but it seems to now only be the left leg that acts up. The vet put her on a couple of meds, to rule out other things. (The...

How old is your cat? Which leg is it? A back leg issue could be a luxating patella. Senior cats more easily "tweak" a muscle doing normal activities like jumping and running. One of my cats is having a similar issue. She does have a luxating patella in both knees. The vet has seen the videos...

Thanks so much for your input <3 My vet made me absolutely terrified of getting surgery, as she was adamant that it had really low success, but is it really that bad? I'm so confused. But I'll keep in touch with her to see what's the best course. I've been really low, so I appreciate your...

...this thread, but I've tried reaching out in other social media with no success. My 4 year old male cat was diagnosed today with Luxating Patella. He doesn't have any significant medical history prior to this and weighs around 12 pounds. Before taking him to the vet, he had around 8...

Oh, believe me. I appreciate any and all advice. (Lecturing never even entered my mind). Unfortunately, Lillie isn't treat motivated. The closest she gets to that is when we put coconut oil on a Nylabone, but while in the car she doesn't care for anything at all. A while back we got her...

My cats seem to handle the beef parts I use without any trouble. I source the heart and organs from Mexican grocery stores and meat markets. Those are my only sources for those things out here. I also feed turkey thighs, chicken thighs, and pork - usually shoulder, sometimes butt. I also just...

...(I have plenty of supplements I use/have used, but I try to use food first if possible and just use supplements to fill in the gaps. I don't use green lipped mussels for my cats, but my dog gets them as she has a Grade 1 luxating patella and I'd like to do my best to prevent any ACL/CCL tears.)

...a formula change. Is she on a joint supplement? I've had really good luck with Green Lipped Mussel powder. My girl has a grade 1 luxating patella (it doesn't bother her at all, and she never "skips" in her back legs) and she's been on this for a year now. I am not trying to lecture you or...
