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.

I have her on supplements. I also have two sets of stairs in the living room on the two pieces of furniture shes uses the most. Callie is bigger boned and a lot of muscle but the vet said she should lose a pound. I need to step up her activity some but I dont want her hurting afterwards she doesn't eat a lot shes a picker so I dont really wanna mess with her food.
