How to treat patellar luxation in dogs?

Patellar luxation is a common sports system injury disease in canine clinical disease. The main cause of patellar luxation is genetics. Patellar luxation accounts for 7.2% of genetic diseases, the highest rate among all congenital defects. Especially small dogs, such as Teddy and Pomeranian, have very thin leg bones and are prone to patellar luxation.

It is recommended to handle it according to the following points

1. The best treatment for patellar luxation in dogs is surgery. Patellar luxation is a congenital defect in dogs. There are different clinical treatments for patellar luxation depending on the degree of dislocation. Generally, surgical reduction and fixation are used to achieve good results. Surgical reduction methods vary according to the degree of dislocation, and the difficulty of surgery varies with the degree of dislocation. Soft tissue reconstruction surgery is usually used in conjunction with bone tissue reconstruction surgery.

2. Painkillers are not the key to treating the disease. It is best not to use them unless the symptoms of pain are too obvious.

3. This disease does not require calcium supplementation. If there is a need for calcium supplementation, the dose of calcium tablets for the puppy should not exceed the health care amount.

4. If the dislocation is not severe, oral medication and physical therapy will suffice. It is best not to have surgery unless there is no other way before considering surgery.

5. However, if it is severe, do the surgery as soon as possible and do not delay. Wait until serious complications occur before having the surgery. At this time, the difficulty of the surgery and the risk of the surgery will increase again.

6. Conservative treatment, because the results are slow, pet owners must remain patient and pay attention to daily care.
