| xXx Tinky's 'Leg Lock' xXx Ok, it's really strange but my little girl Tink had a nasty fall at Nana's when she attempted to jump up onto the chair but she didn't make it and ended up hurting her back leg, she yelped but eventually she was ok and could walk fine, and was back to her normal, happy self. It happened about 4 weeks ago, but every now and then it sort of 'locks' into position as if it dislocates and she holds it slightly off the ground. She wont move, but she doesn't seem to be in pain at all. After a minute or so she's fine again!!! It happens about once or twice a day, never while she's out on her walkies though. Just wondering if it's anything to be seriously worried about??? Thanks! xXx |

| I would definitely have her vet look at her soon. If she doesn't move for a time she may very well be hurting. It may just be bruised or sprained, but it sounds more like she's hurt one of the joints. Let us know how she does. Good luck!

| She may have luxating patellas (knee locking in place or going out of socket). This is common with yorkies. Also mine had a fall at some point and had a very small fracture in her pelvis area. It wouldn't hurt to have your vet take a look at her just in case.

| She needs to have her leg examined and possibly an xray taken to check for an injury. She could have a luxating patella or a torn cranial cruciate ligament...or another torn ligament.
