I had noticed Walter started limping randomly the other week, never in pain, didn't restrict anything he did normally. It started after he got neutered so I was thinking he was just a little sore afterwards. Limping continued well after the surgery so I brought him in the the vet and they said he had a luxating patella. The vet said he should have surgery to repair it but since he is only 7 months old, she wants to wait until he has his full bone growth.
I have two questions:
1. Has anybody had this surgery done on a young bulldog? If so what should I expect? (recovery, cost, etc)
2. Is this something I should be contacting the breeder about?
Thanks for any help
