Patellar luxation is a common joint disorder in small pets. Most medial patellar dislocations are associated with skeletal muscle abnormalities, such as medial displacement of the quadriceps, distal external rotation of the femur, and femoral shaft dysplasia. , knee rotation instability, tibial deformation and other factors. Deformation of the bones and abnormal muscles cause the patella to be unable to exert pressure on the trochlear, thus preventing the trochlear from gaining normal depth. The skeletal cases of patellar dislocation are classified into the following 4 grades:

Grade 1 patella dislocated under external force, but after the external force disappeared The patella returned to its normal position with normal joint flexion and extension.

Grade 2 femoral torsion is slightly deformed, the patella is dislocated under artificial force or when the knee is flexed, but it can only return to its normal position under the action of force.

Grade 3: The patella is dislocated medially most of the time, and it can be artificially reduced only when the knee joint is extended, but the patella will dislocate again after the external force disappears. Abnormal supporting tissue, deformity of the femur and tibia.

Grade 4 proximal tibial plateau has 80-90 degrees of rotation, patellar dislocation cannot be reduced by external force, trochlear groove becomes shallow or disappears, and femoral tibia is usually more severe.

1. Seek medical treatment in time and insist on taking medicine

Patella disease u>Dogs have a great impact. Dog owners who do not have this disease must adhere to prevention, and dogs with this disease must take medicine. Don't expect the dog to be well on its own. Once sick, it will develop very quickly. Dislocation will happen sooner or later. As long as it is a dog with this disease, it is not necessary to have surgery, the medicine must be taken, and it must be taken seriously.

2. Try not to make the dog excited and avoid jumping

Some dog owners are more careful and find out earlier, and taking medicine can relieve the condition. So for such a dog, you must consider taking care of the patella, so that the dog cannot be deteriorated. For example, my friend's dog's patella is not very good. He often plays games with the dog that require jumping, which increases the burden on the dog's patella, resulting in a course of 2.5.

3. Supplement calcium to make dogs strong

In our daily life, we must pay attention to calcium supplementation for dogs. Calcium is very important for dogs. meaning is very important. Calcium-deficient dogs are prone to bone disease. Perhaps, you will definitely refute when you see this, Teddy patella disease is a lot of hereditary, and it has nothing to do with calcium deficiency. But the editor needs to remind you to pay attention:

1. If your dog is deficient in calcium, and it happens to carry the bone disease gene, then it may have an earlier attack and a faster course of the disease;

2. If your dog has problems with the patella, the recovery will be very slow.

4. Control your weight and not be too fat

It is recommended not to give your dog too many snacks and rice. Among them, rice is rich in starch, which will make dogs gain weight. Allowing your dog to gain weight too quickly can compress the patella and cause the patella to dislocate. And the fatter and heavier the dog, the more severe the dislocation of the patella. You should insist on feeding dog food correctly to keep dogs healthy growing up.

5. Do not blindly perform surgery

It is not recommended to perform surgery on dogs. Now the cost of surgery for a single leg is several thousand, and there are certain surgical risks. There are also some dogs who are not ideal after surgery and do not recover well. Although surgery is the only way to cure the disease, when the disease is mild, careful nursing and medication can control the disease from worsening. Conservative treatment is also a good option.
