Why Does My Dog’s Kneecap Dislocate?

Understanding Patellar Luxation – Dr Karin Davids Patellar luxation (dislocating kneecap) is the second-most common cause of lameness in dogs that we see (cruciate ligament disease being the most common).

Maggie the Aussie Bulldog

Having owned Bulldogs for many years I was well versed in the challenges they face with respect to their breathing. My breeder provided some general health information but wasn’t overly specific about having her assessed at a young age to see what the situation was with her airways.  I wasn’t aware preventative measures were possible.
