We noticed that Baileys back legs were making a popping noise and she was sitting a little different so we had our vet take a look. He said her knees are definitely all the way out. So we said What do we do now? He said absolutely nothing unless they are causing her pain. I thought there was stuff you could do if you caught it early to prevent it from progressing further but he tells us theres nothing that can be done. Is this correct?
