| Check his paws would he have a stone or glass inbetween his toes. Have you touch the legs, rub it, does he pull away or wine?

Donating YT 11K Club Member | No, i think he does have it but im not sure what grade, because when i feel his knees they do feel weird like they pop but a vet hasn't checked them. Can that be it, after a long run would they bother him?

If he has it he needs to be on glucosamine and if it is a grade 3 or 4, he needs surgery. He really does need to see the vet for it.

| Is he putting his leg down yet? Cup your hand and glide over his leg from the outside in, and hopefully you'll slip his knee cap back into place. This happened to TJ |

| Hey girl, so sorry about Teddy limping. Glad he's walking better now. It does sound like LP to me. I had Trixie at the vet a few months back and her one knee is a grade 1 and the other is more like a 1-2. My vet also recommended a glucosamine type suppliment. Gluco is good for the joints. I bought this stuff from my vet but for double the price. Here is a link for you but there are many differen't types of suppliments out there. Good luck with Teddy.

| Is it good to get stuff for joints even if dogs don't have joint problems? Just wondering if it can be a preventative at all. Jackson's shown no signs of any of this stuff but I'd like to keep him as healthy as possible.

| It shouldn't hurt anything to give something like Cosequin but you don't have to either.

| thanks for the info. Kobe's vet said the same thing, he has LP, but never mentioned to give him the supplement.
