I called my vet and she said it's not luxating patella because it's in the front leg. she thinks that he's kinda dislocating that joint when he does certain things. She says that happens sometimes. She told me just to rub it and help it back into place. She imagines that once he stops growing this will stop as well. She wants me to bring him in if for some reason I can't get it corrected on my own then they'll do x-rays and tests. She believes it's due to him getting so tall so fast and once his bones and joints and ligiments catch up he'll be fine. If once he's done growing the problem keeps occuring then we're going to try and figure out what the problem is.
