Aw thank you so much for the advice on the supplement!! So glad to hear Mikko is healing and it hasn’t happened since the surgery. I’m just afraid that because she is used to jumping up on high things she may be doing more damage than good. We have bought some pet stairs for things and she’s slowly using them! With Mikko, before the surgery did it used to happen everyday? At what point did you know that it was time for surgery?Hello! I’m so sorry to hear about Pooch! My cat was diagnosed with bilaterally luxating patellas when he was 12 weeks old. He never was able to jump/run without them dislocating, so he lived a very pitiful first year. But he did learn how to pop them back in, and I’m sure Pooch will too. Since it was caused by an injury, and it does not seem to be too severe, I think the surgery would be a little over kill in your case. The surgery was very extensive and expensive, and Mikko had to be kept crated for about 3 months. His surgery was in May so he has healed very well, and his knees haven’t popped out at all! He doesn’t really jump, but he never has. He uses stairs to get on my bed and uses mainly his front legs to claw up the cat tree. And he walks like a little T Rex now, but it’s actually really cute. I’m just glad he is pain free now. If you haven’t heard of them already, I would try a Cosequin (I could be spelling that wrong) supplement for cats. The cheapest place I have found it is on Chewy.com. When Mikko was still suffering from this, I found that the supplements really decreased the amount of times it happened during the day. It works by thickening the fluid in the joints, making it a little bit harder for that joint to slip and giving it more cushion. I hope all goes well with Pooch!!
