Thank you all so much for your good wishes! I have a luxating patella caused by my heroic charge into the front fence to defend my yard against an interloper. The Humans have told me that I will be going to a third vet next Wednesday for a surgical consultation. After that, I will have knee surgery to become a bionic Dog.
For all our Dog and Meowy followers, think very carefully about heroism. You don’t always get a medal. Sometimes, all you get is a visit to three–count them, three!–vets for your trouble.
Woofs and Wags, Stella

Oh dear..well you were a brave girl and now you just have to be brave a little longer…plenty of treats and cuddles and leave the heroism to your particularly heroic feline housemates…xx

I hope that surgery will help you to become a super happy dog… and to go to that surgery is very brave, you must be a hero in any way :o)

Awww, I’m so sorry. Maybe you’ll get extra special attention when you get home….probably not from the meowies though.

I hope not from the Meowies! The only attention I get from them comes in the form of a hiss at best and a scratched nose at worst. Woofs and Wags, Stella

Good heavens, it never occurred to me this could happen to a dog. Though, I have no idea why the species should be immune from this.
Best of luck with the surgeries, and returning to full health.

Human Mommy says I’m clumsy. I find that kind of unfair–it was totally the other Woofie’s fault and, tangentially, the fault of the fence Human Daddy built to protect us all from marauding Woofies. Woofs and Wags, Stella

So sorry to hear this, every luxating patella is different and surgery isn’t always required. Our Pearl already had this condition when we adopted her (she used to spin in the shelter kennels trying to bite her own tail which may have contributed to it) and our vet advised against surgery, as long as she was not in any discomfort. She is not and she flies up any mountain and zooms around beaches. We give her a gentle massage after each walk and everything falls back into place.

I need a new knee and a giant bag of pigs ears and a baker’s dozen of bully sticks and some delicious wet food and the ability to boss around Cosmo for as long as I see fit in order to feel better, not necessarily in that order. Woofs and Wags, Stella
