Our pup was diagosed with a mild laxity palpated on the stifles, but no apparent luxation. If it builds to anything in the future, is that treatable? What is that procedure known as?

This is called patellar luxation. It may or may not cause any future issues. Here is a link to an article about this problem. Is this is 7 week old puppy? If so, I think it is too early to diagnose something like this. ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/luxating-patella-in-dogs )
