Patellar luxation in my dog

The patella is a fundamental bone for the proper functioning of the animal's limb, housed in a groove of the femur. Its luxation is due to a misalignment of the limb caused by poor development in the animal, a possible trauma, or especially in small breeds, affecting one or both limbs 👀.

As soon as we suspect improper functioning, an unusual position in our furry friend, or possible discomfort 🤒 we must seek opinions from specialists and veterinarians, bearing in mind that this pathology is classified into different grades and types of limping, which we may not be able to diagnose from the first moment.

To a large extent, surgical treatment is required for tissue repair or bone reconstruction. In many cases, it is advisable to subject the furry one to surgery, especially if the furry one is still young. But what can I do to prevent patellar luxation?  

For this, we need to keep the furry one's joints in good condition🏋🏽‍♂️, prevent its appearance and, if there is already discomfort, manage to reduce it🚫. It is recommended to be especially attentive to animals with rapid growth, animals with a high level and physical intensity, orthopedic problems, obesity, etc.

Kunkay in this case has a nutritional supplement called Arthrokun. This product is designed from different natural active principles, which can be administered chronically with the aim of reducing cartilage degeneration, inflammation, pain reduction, and increased mobility of the furry one.

In any case, the important thing is to study the personal case of each animal, seek opinions, and proceed to administer what is appropriate for each furry friend🧡.
