I haven't had this with my current dogs, but my Pomeranian I had years ago had this with one of his knees. He was under 2 years old. He, like your pup, got to the point where it really hurt him so I took him to the vet.
He even did a drawing of the leg and knee area - showing how the ligament on one side had become not only stretched, but detached, and the cap shifted over. He explained that he would make a grove under where the knee cap is normally to help keep it in place when he put some type of replacement material on that side & connected it so everything would stay in place.
BooBear was great after the operation. He never had any other trouble with that knee, or the good one either.
Best to your little baby pup! |
