Hi I'm thinking of getting pet insurance for nelson because his front paw points outwards when he walks and the vet did notice this as well. I checked with a pet insurance company here in australia and they do not cover "luxating patella". i know the patella is the knee but i was told that they call the dogs hind legs joints the "knee" and the front leg joints "the elbows". is this correct?
so if luxating patella only means the back legs then i think i might get the insurance incase anything happens with his front legs.
nelson does have hip displasia so i know that the pet insurance will probably never cover anything to do with his hind legs but do you think i should get the insurance just incase a problem arises with his front legs/knees?
do bulldogs have problems with their front legs? what could be the problem if his front foot twists out when he talks straight?
