It makes it hard (painful) to jump because the kneecap slides out of place.
It is very common in Yorkies and that is probably not the problem here but any jumping problems and that is my first thought...

Maybe her stomach still feels funny to her when she stretches to jump?
Oops Didn't realize it wasn't something I could look for.... My hubby thinks she still feels pain in her belly, but I worry about her a good bit, and he has decided that I take her to the vet too often (one too many bills, I think). Of course, if I insist, then she will go, but if it's not neccessary, I would rather not. She has been quite a bit here lately.

She just had a physical - should they have checked for luxating patella then?

She hasn't gained any weight that I can tell. She always weighs around ten pounds - a little over or under. I just don't know. She loves to be able to jump and you can tell it bothers her that she can't
