[Dailydrool] Rockwell and the bum knees

[Melanie Prisco]

Well, after having Rockwell for two months we found out he was born with bad
knees. Right now the left knee keeps popping out of joint (causing limping
and him not put wait on it) and had a build up of fluid which is making the
vet person nervous that he could have also torn his ligament. We have him on
pain meds and rest but the vet person says he will need surgery to repair
this leg and give that his other is weak as well, that one will need surgery
too down the road.

Has anyone had surgery for knees/ligaments? Or experience with fluid build
up in the knee (joint effusion)?

Send some drool he gets better soon. Its hard to keep a very active/and
furniture jumping hound to sit still!
