he's limping off his back leg and vet says his knee keeps popping out so they have to remove a bit of bone to correct it, says it's a frequent problem with staffs.
the wife looked it up on youtube but couldn't watch it but will stop him hopping on 3 legs

Yes I have heard of it, we thought Moo may have to have it but it turned out to arthritis. I think its a pretty standard op but the recovery time is harder.

Wishing you guys all the best, when is it?

Yes, that's patella luxation. Tibial Crest Transposition is one way of correcting it.

There's usually a very good corrective rate for it. When does he go in?

30th april my sons birthday lol

He'll be fine. The hardest part will be keeping him quiet & restricting exercise for a while afterwards - good luck with that!

Keep us posted but I agree. Keeping them quite is the hard part!

Never heard of it, but wishing you the best with it and hope he heals up from it nice and quickly

All the best for the op and a speedy recovery x

yes i have heard of it no personal experiences however i know it's meant to have a good recover rate

Hope everything goes well, keep us updated.

Glad you got an answer from your previous thread/video. He'll be fine.

Me and the Monster wish you both the very best matey

I'm hoping my (nearly) six month old pup isn't going to end up needing this surgery.
A few weeks ago she was tearing round the living room with a toy, threw it in the air, jumped to catch it and landed awkwardly, damaging her knee joint. Since then, her knee has been popping out of the joint if she runs about.
The vet seems to think that this will heal itself over the next month or two as it's a trauma injury and not genetic. He's advised no off lead running, keeping her from jumping on and off the furniture and stopping her from going up and down the stairs. He said that lots of road walking will help to build the muscles that support the joint and this will help to keep the knee in place.
As you can imagine trying to stop a staffy pup from running around is proving difficult! I just hope he's right and she does heal properly.

Not heard of it but Good Luck and hope the op and recovery goes well ><

My hubby has had this done on his leg, where the patella tendon is, a block is cut out with the tendon attached and then another block the same size is cut out in the desired position and the 2 blocks are swapped and fixed in place. This op is for alignment purposes.

Like others said, It'll be hard keeping them quiet and stopping them from being so active! Good luck for the op though!

well big day today on 30th vets phoned cancelled op, so he's been today just been to pick him up sneding him to another vet to stay overnight cos he's got loads of small bleeds. they stitched him back up but kept bleeding.

You must be very worried but he is in safe hands, do they have any idea how the op went? X

ye sorry dint mention op went very well was just when i went to pick him up they noticed blood under where he'd been layed opened up and came across loads of little bleeds hoping after strapping him up it stops.

Hope he recover's quickly ><

Big hugs from the kids for him , hope he's soon back on all 4 paws

Get well soon Jake ><

Hope he gets better soon! Me and eb send him cuddles ><

just phoned vets he's had confortable night took his dressings off bit of bleeding but walked him round yard was fine.
says he's happy for him to come home woopee dooooo

Fantastic news! Already on the road to recovery

poor lad is in some right pain by looks never been as quiet

Ouch! Poor little Jake - that was some op.

I know you know this already, but don't let him lick at the wounds. Kuchar did that after his measly little castration op (my fault, I didn't put his lampshade on) and he had to be re-sutured.

Sending you and Jake big >< and all best wishes for a rapid recovery.
