[Bama Yorkie Mom]

I just took her to have her anal glands cked and nails cut. While he was cutting her nails he noticed her knee popping out of joint and making a little clicking noise. He said she seemd to have luxating patella (SP). Well, I felt bad because I had meant to mention this to him and I forgot about it. But about 2 months ago, right after her last vet visit, I noticed her running and suddenly picking up her right hind leg and running on 3 legs off and on one day. I cked her paw to see if something was there and it was. It was the shell of an acorn so I got it out and she seemed ok for then. then a couple more times she did this during that week or so. My sister in law was here once and she picked her up to ck her and told me then that she could feel her knee jumping out of socket. Her dog has this, so she knew what to look for. But time went on and she hasnt done it anymore so I didnt think anymore about it. I actually forgot about it when I took her yesterday is why I didnt mention it. I had told my sister in law I would get him to ck it when I took her back. Well I didnt have to as he found it himself. He said sometimes it causes them lots of problems, even surgery sometimes, but sometimes they dont have much problems with it. So he said we'll just watch her and see how she does. But she still hasnt done it anymore and she runs around and jumps when she wants to, so I hope she dont start having much trouble with it. He didnt seem to think surgery is a good idea as long as their not showing much signs of problems, but said sometimes they will quit using their leg at all. So wish us luck with her leg. I would appreciate the thoughts and care from all here. All else checked out fine.
