My Maltipoo started experiencing pain in his back right leg. We took him to the vet and the Doc mentioned he believes it’s Patellar Luxation, a condition where the kneecap slides or pops out of its normal groove in the thigh bone. He mentioned that it is very common in smaller breeds and he provided pain medication but also recommended an X-ray which we will get done this week. One of the vet techs mentioned her Maltipoo had the same issue and needed surgery to put in a screw to basically keep it in place. Has anyone else’s pup had this condition and if so what was the process for them? Just feeling so sad for our boy, who’s usually very active, loving and social 😔
