We will definitely talk to the vet about it. She's only a year old and at her last appointment, they said her knees were good. My poodle had a mild case of LP and this didn't really look the same as his. His knee would come lose for several minutes at a time and he'd hobble around with something very obviously wrong but you could easily pop it back in for him and he was fine. With Chloe, it's a split second thing and she's never acted like it hurts. Also, that site mentions them moving kind of bow legged and Chloe's not at all bow legged. Not sure if that comes after a long time though.

If it is LP, is there anything I can or should be doing to lessen the effects? Is it okay to continue walking her or should we not? Any sort of like at home therapy we can do to strengthen the knee?
Thanks!!
