I'm starting to suspect that Squirt has a luxating patella in his right hind. He's started doing the telltale "skip" with that leg. I've always worried that he'd have some issues in his hind end somewhere since he's so cow-hocked and a structural nightmare. We have an appointment with our vet for next Tuesday and all drag work, etc. is on hold, so if it is the case I will update with the grade it is given and such.
What I'm looking for is personal experience with this. What grade was given? How limiting was it as far as mobility and exercise? Did it get significantly worse over time? Was surgery a valid option, was it effective if it was done?
Basically, I'm just freaking out. He's so young and it will be sad if he's limited for the rest of his life due to this. I'm really hoping that I'm jumping to early conclusions here.
