I give Uni Cosequin, and I think it's helping, however, I still feel her knees pop all the time. She doesn't hike her legs though. She was downgraded from initially a 3 to a 2. She is quite slim though, about 5.5-6 lbs and tall. Katie, my former foster, was never formally diagnosed, but I knew she had a problem with her right knee, as she would do the same after a play day. If you tried to touch that leg she would snap at you. She did not know how to hold herself back while playing. She was more chunky, overall more stocky, even though you could feel her ribs, she did lose some weight while I had care of her, she was still "big boned". I did not ever hear or feel her knees popping though.

Have you put Callie on supplements yet? they won't make the LP go away, but will help with the joints. Also try to keep her on the skinny side. Personally, I didn't like Uni swimming bc of the chlorine. Her hair is so delicate as it is, I didn't want to add any more chemicals to it, and plus she didn't really seem to love it. She would just swim to the edge of the pool and get out.
