| Slip Knee? My yorkie's knee will sometimes pop out of place but then it always pops right back in. This weekend the back right knee popped out and for the past 3 days he doesn't put weight on it and keeps is straight 24/7. He doesn't use it to go up and down steps and hesitates before the steps. He also has a hard time jumping on the couch but doesn't have a problem standing on his back two legs when he wants something. I've felt around the knee and couldn't find a difference in the bad knee vs the good knee. Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm pretty sure the knee is popped in but he is obviously in pain or something even though he is not yelping or anything. I'm going to take him to the vet but I cannot contact them since they are closed on the weekend. |

| Poor boy! Definitely need to see the vet ASAP. This is a common problem in Yorkies. I would try to keep him off his feet as much as possible.
