Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would keep him as quiet as possible to rest the leg and see how he is in the morning. If he is still favoring it Iwould get him in to the vet. I hope it is just sprained and he will be fine in a day or two.

| I suggest going to the vet, too. Similar thing happened to Tucker on Wednesday and he hasn't been using his leg very much. Vet said, it turns out he has LP.

| glad to hear that. Let us know what the vet says. It is so scary, these guys can be scirmy. I know one gal said she doesn't let anyone hold her dogs or pick up her dogs unless they are sitting down. I had never even thought about that before

| the knee There are lots of threads on y.t about it. I learned here so many yourkie have gone through it . I will do my best to explain. the knee has a little notch.. our babys are small the groves are small. some times they have to go in and make it bigger so it does not slip in and out. small breads get this(jumping) or just it doest grow good. now in Tedes case he is 16 months so the insurence says its genitic so they wont cover it.does that help Im not a good explainer
