When I took Finny to the vet for diarrhea, the vet said her knee was out, but not to worry, she popped it back in right there. I have no idea when it went out, she had no symptoms or anything, lol. Walks and runs fine, no yelping and always weight bearing. I will be keeping a closer eye on her though.

There was defiantly swelling a couple days ago that I'm sure has gone down by now. One thing I can say was the vet was excited to do a surgery on him quick and made it sound like I was getting a great deal. He was telling me I could call around anywhere and wouldn't get a price like the one he was offering. I remember telling my boyfriend how I thought that was weird because it shouldn't be that I am looking for a bargain the way he was putting it out there. But naive me shook it off like I was just worrying too much. I'm glad i'll know for sure soon.
