Question My dog Peyton and I went to the vet today and i found out he has a floating pantella in his hind left leg. I noticed him limping a while ago and thought maybe he pulled a muscle, but I wanted to know if I should keep an eye on his right hind leg, that one is fine so far but will he have the same problems in the other leg or should I not worry.
Answer Hi Countney. I'm sorry to write that there is no way of knowing if Peyton's other leg will develop problems later or not. I would have my vet examine it each time you take him in for the other leg.
Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions. Sincerely, Penny D.
