Dislocated Kneecap Care for Pets
At North Oatlands Animal Hospital & Reproduction Center, we offer a Knee Cap Dislocation service for pets who are experiencing discomfort and limited mobility due to a dislocated knee cap.
Knee cap dislocation, also known as patellar luxation, is a common orthopedic condition in pets. It occurs when the kneecap, or patella, is displaced from its normal position within the femoral groove. This can cause pain, lameness, and difficulty walking or jumping.
Our Knee Cap Dislocation service is designed to diagnose and treat this condition, providing pets with relief from their symptoms and improving their overall quality of life. Our experienced veterinarians will conduct a thorough examination to determine the severity of the dislocation and develop a customized treatment plan for each individual pet.
