She said it's definitly the stifle.

Her plan, first try exercise. 10-15 minutes every other day, working him over 3-4 cavaletti's. First week just at the walk, then 2nd week at the trot. I should see some improvement, if not, she wants to see him.

She said there are alot of things to do rather then clip the ligament. Blister it to make some scar tissue to tighten it up so the patella can't slip out.

Can 1 week of every other day at a walk for 10-15 minutes do anything? That almost seems pointless to me, but I'll give it a try.

It seems light, but cavalettis can be hard work. Adjust as you think you should to fit him.
