Medical notes
Diagnosed Medical Condition – Bilateral Medial Luxating Patellas (MLP)
Sundae was examined and found to have bilateral medial luxating patella (MLPs). These are grade 1 MLPs, which means that the patellas (knee caps) stay mostly in the correct position within the groove of the knee joint, but can be luxated out of position with some pressure. When the knee caps luxate, they move towards the medial
(inside) aspect of the knee. When the hindlegs extend, the knee caps tends to move back into the correct position. Sundae does not appear to be clinically lame and weight bears on both hind legs well. However, it is hard to fully assess their gait
and whether or not lameness will occur in a shelter situation as the cat is mainly in a confined space.
There is an increased predisposition for cats with MLPs to develop arthritis. Hence, it is important that its weight be well controlled, so as not to become an overweight cat. Arthritis management may need to be considered in the future as welljoint
