I think Florence would benefit from some joint supplements. I recommend dasuquin or flexadin with UC-II. If one alone doesn't help, you can also give both but you want to separate the two by 12 hours apart. Also, make sure you are giving her a high quality dog food which will have all the required vitamins and nutrients she needs. She will need to be on a puppy food until she is 10-12 months old. I hope this helps!

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!

There are lots of good join supplements out there, most of them are a combination of glucosamine/chondroitin. Fish oil is also good to decrease inflammation in the joint. They are safe if there are no joint issues, but then they aren't really needed. Patellar luxation is pretty easy to diagnose by a vet on physical exam. Less severe cases, you can push the patella out of the groove manually. More severe cases, it gets locked out of place and causes the dog to limp.
