Evenin',

Our 14-week ~4lb Yorkie has a loose knee (back right side) according to a vet. We've noticed that we hear a cracking sound (like someone cracking their knuckles) in that knee when he runs around sometimes. The vet didn't seem to be concerned however we would like more opinions. It does not seem to affect his overall energy (he is very rambunctious) but I would like to know if that down the road it is more likely that complications will develop out of this condition or if it is more likely that he will grow out of it.
