Medical notes
During Poppy’s vet check it was detected that she has grade 2/4 bilateral medical luxating patellas (both legs) which is very common in young small breed dogs. Poppy runs, jumps and zooms around just fine , so does not require surgery at this time. It is possible however, that in the future it could possibly “pop” in and out of place which could cause her some pain. In this case your own vet may advise on surgery . Her new family must have the financial means to cover a future surgery if required down the track. There is a high chance of success from these type of surgeries - feel free to consult your own vet prior to applying if required
