Hi everyone,
I'm completely new to this site, but I’m posting here as a bit of a shot in the dark.
My cat is turning 4 this year and I've recently noticed that he's been limping occasionally. After keeping an eye on him for a few days, I booked an appointment with my vet.
The diagnosis is in: patellar luxation (a slipped kneecap). He explained that it’s likely a congenital issue from birth; he can live with it, but surgery is also an option. However, it would be a major operation.
I wanted to know if any of you have dealt with this kind of problem with your cats. If so, do you have any feedback or advice you could share?
For now, I’m trying to do everything possible to reduce his limping and discomfort without opting for surgery, provided it stays manageable for him.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
