hes doing pretty good i think it might be a bit harder on me then it is on him now that he has learned to walk with the bandages on it is getting harder and harder to keep him still it just makes me very sad to see him this way but i know it was the best thing he could have had done
Does this condition happen to every chi? Is it preventable?
No it doesn't happen to all Chihuahuas but a lot, certainly here in the UK seem to be prone to it. Not allowing your Chihuahua to jump off furniture is a good idea, but some Chi's are born with the structural problem.
Not all Chihuahuas that develop a patella luxation will need surgery, depends on the severity.
