How many times has it happened and did it have anything to do with the time that salt or ice melt was put down for the winter? Ellie carries her legs occasionally when she has to walk on salt. Evidently it burns... |

I don't think she checked his knees at the time of his yearly checkup. Mostly she checked his stomach and bowel area, and ears, I believe.
I checked a bit ago when he was really sleepy. I moved his lower legs around. Touched his knee areas too. I don't know anything about this issue but I thought touching him, he might have a sensation to move or act like it was in pain. Nothing happened. I just moved the legs in circles and touched his feet together. Physical therapy, I guess.
Maxwell has a habit when he runs to run in my garden and jump on top of the stone wall and off of it. Especially this summer when he was chasing rabbits. Could that have been where he injured it~? I know that they aren't suppose to jump off of anything until they get old enough for their bones to form. What age is that~?
