Please read up on Luxating Patella. Knees do not just pop out on their own. It happens because the connective tissue is not holding the joint in place as it should. This is a genetic weakness in Yorkies and gets worse as they get older. There is a library here on YT that you can get more information from. I don't know how many Yokies your vet has treated but he should no be treating this so casually. There are several members here who have Yorkies with this condition.
