Yes, I beg your pardon, it was a "slipped stifle." I had to look back through my correspondence with her. This is a breeder (Gold Dust Yorkies), but this was also a 6 year old she no longer bred, so I don't know if she figured it wasn't worth mentioning or what.The leg that is affected is also kinda twisted inward, really noticeable when she's on her back, very much like I've seen in some daschunds.
So what can I do to make her a little less stiff upon rising from sleep? If you get a chance check out her picture in my album, she's just as sweet & cute as can be! I tried to put her pic here but it is too big. I'm not computer savy but that's what the message says when I try. When Rita walks her leg looks straight but you can see a small limp. Thank you all for your help, I learn something new everyday!
