At Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Aurora, CO, we provide expert care for pets suffering from kneecap dislocation, also known as patellar luxation. This common orthopedic condition can cause limping, pain, and joint instability—especially in small breed dogs.
Patellar luxation occurs when the kneecap shifts out of its normal position, often due to genetics or trauma. We diagnose the severity of the condition through a physical exam and imaging, then develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s mobility and comfort needs.
Mild cases may be managed with anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. However, moderate to severe cases often require corrective surgery to realign the kneecap and prevent long-term joint damage or arthritis.
Our skilled veterinary team is committed to helping your pet regain normal movement and live pain-free. If your pet shows signs of limping or leg stiffness, visit Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Aurora for an evaluation and learn how we can treat kneecap dislocation with compassionate, effective care.
