I've had my baby girl for over a month now.. and for the last couple days her legs have been making a little cracking sound everytime she moves them around. She isn't bothered by it. she runs, eats, plays. But this noise has only happened for the last couple days and I have been freaking out! Then I looked into it and read some articles about yorkies and I just noticed she has somewhat of a roachback. Because when she sits she looks like a cat, it curves it. My other dog, carin terrier, he has a straight back when he sits down. So I was wondering if the roach back would have anything to do with her "crackin and popping" sounds coming from her legs. Or if it is just making that noise due to growth spurts??
can someone please help me and let me know if your yorkie ever made these noises before??
