Does joint medicine help luxtating patella

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Joint medications will not help with the patellar luxation per se. However, it does help with the secondary osteoarthritis that can occur as an effect of patellar luxation. I do recommend this joint supplements for that reason. This is usually a surgical disease depending on its severity. Lucy in the sky with diamonds is an awesome name by the way! Good luck with your girl!
