Here is some information for you: LUXATING PATELLA (KNEE CAP) |
Thank you for the info. He doesn't jump on or off the furniture. He's only 7 lbs + and maybe less than one foot in height. It is my garden wall that he jumps off and on to. I can't control that when he's playing in the yard, and especially as fast as he runs when a rabbit or other animal come into his territory.
