Poor baby! These yorkies love to jump, its so hard to slow them down. I try to stop mine from jumping on and off the couch all the time, I've even bought them steps but they have a mind of their own
LP is Luxating Patella, it is often found in small breeds and is when their knee cap pops out of joint when flexing their leg. Some have mild cases and will not need surgery but corrective surgery is needed in more extreme cases.
