poor baby!

i would get him checked out.. for Luxating Patella's (LP) Avie has this.. and we have her on glucosmine supplements(cosequin) and she uses stairs up to the bed/couch.. we try and prevent any jumping! she is grade 2 in one leg and grade 2/border 3 in the other.. they need to get surgery at grade 4 (sometimes 3, depending on if they are showing pain, etc.)
good luck! and keep us updated.. you want to get him checked, so you can get him on supplements and do things to prevent it from getting worse, so he doesn't need surgery
that much sooner!
