Kneecap Dislocation

Pet Kneecap Dislocation Treatment in Ogden, Utah

A kneecap dislocation, also known as a luxating patella, is a common orthopedic condition in pets—especially small dog breeds. At Wasatch Hollow Animal Hospital, our skilled veterinarians diagnose and treat kneecap dislocations using advanced surgical and therapeutic methods to help your pet move comfortably again.

This condition occurs when the kneecap slips out of its normal position, causing limping, skipping steps, or sudden lameness. Without proper treatment, a luxating patella can lead to pain, inflammation, and long-term joint damage. Our team performs a thorough orthopedic examination to determine the severity of the dislocation and recommend the most effective repair option.

We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments depending on your pet’s needs. Our approach focuses on restoring proper alignment, strengthening the joint, and reducing the risk of future dislocations. Throughout the process, we ensure your pet receives compassionate care and a smooth recovery plan.

If your pet shows signs of knee discomfort or instability, don’t wait—early treatment can prevent lasting damage. Contact Wasatch Hollow Animal Hospital in Ogden or call us today to schedule your pet’s orthopedic consultation.
