So, what should we do when our baby has a problem with a dislocated patella?
The key to patellar dislocation is early diagnosis and.

Conservative** includes local cold compresses, massages, and physiotherapy to effectively relieve your dog's pain and discomfort. In addition, proper exercise and diet are also important links.

In the diet, you should try to choose foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin D, which can help accelerate the healing and recovery of the patella.
However, for some cases of severe or even complex patellar dislocation, conservative ** often cannot achieve good results. At this point, surgery is required**. Surgery** can restore the patella to its normal position and strengthen and stabilize the patellofemoral joint by rerepairing it. Surgery** generally needs to be performed in a specialized veterinary hospital and needs to be performed by an experienced veterinarian. After the operation, the dog needs to pay attention to rest, prohibit strenuous exercise and jumping, and at the same time need to follow the doctor's instructions for regular follow-up and training.
