Welcome to the group Lauren. Sorry to hear your baby has luxating patellas. I've seen this in lots of dogs (worked as a vet tech) and assisted in the surgery. The surgery is almost always effective... but very pricey. I'm sure you're not all that concerned about the cost since you just want your baby to be healthy. Did the vet say what grade the luxation is (grade 1, 2, 3, or 4)? Grade 1 is a mild case while grade 4 is the worst possible case and requires surgery. ~Lacey
