I took Maddie to the vet for her last round of puppy shots and her rabies shot (which she reacted fine to, thank god!) and when the vet was checking her over she said that her right knee cap was popping. She said it is something that they need to keep and eye on. I was trying to figure out what that really means and while searching the forum I found a lot on luxating patella. Is her "popping knee cap" the same as luxating patella?
