History: Disco has been diagnosed with bilateral luxating patellas. The left is grade 2 and the right is a grade 3. She is consistently showing clinical signs of luxating patellas. The x-rays have connived the MLP w/ medial deviation of the tibial tuberosity. It would be best if she would have both of these patellas corrected to have them say in their correct position.
A Note from the Foster: Disco is a female 6 year old chihuahua. She is what’s called a “breeder release.” Which usually means she lived her entire life in a teeny tiny kennel with minimal human attention, only to be used to make babies for profit.
Discos behaviors, and fears align with that scenario. Disco is a very scared, shaky little girl. Every sound, feeling, and interaction makes her cower in fear. It took a couple weeks just for her to be brave enough to set foot outside her kennel and then another week or two for her to accept touch without it crippling her with fear. She is still very fearful, but now we can see that she’s starting to get excited and want to interact. Her tail will sometimes come unglued from where she tucks it up by her tummy, and it will have the littlest flicking of a wag! She also will ask for a tummy rub, and Will sometimes give the tiniest almost not there kiss to my hand. Disco is coming such a long way already and I have no doubt in my mind with a patient person she will continue to come out of her shell even more.
