Default Patella Luxation

This is a condition called Patella Luxation.

Patella Luxation, also known as slipping kneecaps, slipping stifle, is a relatively common condition in the Yorkshire Terrier and often results in intermittent lifting of one or both hind legs when walking or running. It may be recessively inherited and therefore, afflicted animals should not be bred. Corrective surgery is usually very successful.
