Hi everyone,
I stumbled on this site while doing some research on patellar luxation. My kitty, Emma, was diagnosed with this yesterday. She started limping this weekend and barely moved on Saturday and Sunday. At the vet on Monday momimg, our vet said that Emma had an advanced care of luxating patella. Emma’s knee caps will not stay in place and there’s probably a little pain. It sounds like surgery is the only option and I simply can’t afford iit. Emma is 11 years old She’s comfortable in the second bedroom which is now hers. Pillows, litter box, food, water are all within easy reach. I guess this is our life from now on.
Today’s Update: Somehow Emma has figured out how to get around. This morning she was waiting for me in the kitchen for breakfast, she was laying on the bath mat while I was in the shower, she used her old litter nbox which is a few inches from the floor, and greeted me at the front door when I got home tonight. Unbelievable. She’s still limping, and laying down after walking a bit, but I am thrilled that she’s figured how to get around despite her new challenge.
I would love to hear others’ stories about this condition? Has anyone had the surgery?
Thanks in advance!
