Treatment for Kneecap Dislocation (Patellar Luxation) in Pets
Kneecap dislocation, or patellar luxation, is a common orthopedic issue in pets—especially small-breed dogs—that can cause limping, skipping steps, or discomfort. At Partners For Pets in Prattville, AL, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment to restore comfort and stability.
This condition occurs when the kneecap slips out of its normal position, leading to joint instability and potential long-term damage if left untreated. Our veterinary team carefully evaluates the severity of the dislocation to recommend the most effective treatment plan.

Depending on your pet’s needs, treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, or corrective surgery to realign the kneecap and stabilize the joint. Our team prioritizes minimally invasive options when possible, always focusing on long-term mobility and comfort.
With compassionate care and advanced orthopedic knowledge, Partners For Pets supports your pet from diagnosis through recovery. Our goal is to help your furry companion return to a pain-free, active lifestyle with confidence.
