So. I ended up taking Lucy to the emergency clinic tonight because I carefully monitored her protein intake; did not walk her; and yet I walked into the dining room and she was standing there with her right hind leg sticking straight out. She then sank to the ground.

I picked her up and gave her the Karo syrup; which she enjoyed - hopped down and started playing.

Monday started to seem too far away.

The vet at the hospital diagnosed her with two luxating patellas. He easily made them slip out and back; and he said this is what is happening. Her knees slip in and out of place; she lays down and hence the quick recoveries. He did not think she had any neurological issues; but of course, we will keep our appointment with the regular vet.

She also has some retained baby teeth.

He strongly cautioned me not to breed her - of course, I never would anyway.

On the positive side - she now weighs 4.2 lbs - up from her last vet visit.

So, that's our update for now.

This little girl! She's going to give me a heart attack, I swear!
