 New member with bone question
Hi everyone! I'm new here, my yorkie's name is Valentino and he will b 1 yr old Xmas day!!! I have learned so much from you all and enjoy absorbing the wealth of information this forum has to offer. I have a question that hopefully you guys can help me out with. Everytime Valentino gets up from a nap his knees crack when he jumps onto the sofa his knee cracks, when he stretches his knee cracks. I really can't tell if its just one knee or both. His last vet visit was back in October, he had an eye infection. I asked the vet to check his knees because of this and he checked both knees and said he didn't feel anything and that they were both fine. He mentioned small dogs were prone to LP ( something I already knew from reading up on YT) but that Valentino was ok. I asked if I should give him a joint supplement but he said not to worry about it for now. How can I not worry?! The sound of his bones cracking freaks me out! Idk if he's in pain he doesn't favor one leg over the other but I still worry. Sorry this is so long. Basically my question is, is this normal? Should I look for a second opinion? Should I start him on a joint supplement? Any feedback would b appreciated. Thanks guys!!! |
