***Calling all owners of dogs with luxating patella!***

Would anyone be able to help one of our students please with her final year project? Please see details below:

As a final year veterinary physiotherapy student, I am writing a dissertation. I have focused my research on reviewing UK canine owners understanding/experience of luxating patella’s including risk factors, management, clinical signs and treatments. This allows all of us veterinary professionals to understand how we can improve quality of life for our dog friends!

I have chosen to collect my data via interviews which will take place on teams and should take approximately 30 minutes of your time. I’m seeking owners who have had an experience with luxating patella’s.

*Any volunteers must be 18 years of age and must be a dog owner*

If you are interested in taking part please contact me on: [email protected]

Thankyou!
