When this first happened, he yelped really loud. The ortho specialist said it was because he tore some cartilage. But he doesn't yelp at all anymore and he is his active self as usual--no more yelping. The specialist showed me how to check to see if it is out of place and when I check, it is almost always out of place, but he walks fine and runs great. This is why I am so confused about it. He seems fine, but the specialist said it would really affect him when he is around 6 or 7. It's really hard to know what to do.
