We just took Abby to the vet for something quite unrelated and after having examined her fairly thoroughly the vet told us that Abby has "Lateral Patella dislocation" in both hind legs. He said that it is not unusual in Bassets and that it was nothing to worry about...easier said than done. The vet (who is Japanese) was struggling with his English (although I have to give him an "A" for effort...and it is certainly better than my Japanese!), but I am not sure that I understood exactly what this is. Can anyone explain to me:
1)What is "lateral patella dislocation"?
2)What treatment is necessary?
3)Is it hereditary/genetic?
Thanks for any answers!
