Meet Leo! Leo came to us with a limp and a decrease in energy. His owner’s daughter noticed a click sound a week ago, and soon after, Leo started showing symptoms like not putting pressure on his left hind leg. After a thorough examination and x-rays, we diagnosed Leo with Bilateral Medial Patellar Luxation. On 2/26/25, we performed surgery to help him get back to his active self. Wishing Leo a smooth and speedy recovery!
