My Alyssa just visited her vet on Wednesday since she started walking on 3 legs and lifting her rear left leg. The vet said she had popped out her knee. She popped it back in and Alyssa let out a loud yelp. She put her on pain medicine for l0 days. She said if it was not better then we would do x-rays. Surgery would then we the next step. I am hoping that with her being restricted from jumping (she jumps off the couch, bed, table...she is a climber and loves to jump off) that her leg will heal. Alyssa is 5. The vet said it is unusual for a yorkie to just start having problem at this poiint in her life. Usually bad knees are present from birth. The vet had made a note on her record at our last visit that her knees appeared to be in good shape. So we are keeping our fingers crossed and saying prayers that this was just something that happened and not going to be a common occurrance.
