Saw the Vet. Her heart and lungs are sound, weight perfect at 7lbs 9ozs, booster jabs and nail clip completed. The clunk from the rear leg diagnosed as a 'luxating patella' stage 2. From this forum I see its something that needs manual manipulation to re-seat. I carry this out a few times a day. Even without this, she seems indifferent and her running and jumping are unimpaired, so I'm not sure? The prognosis was instant without much inspection and I felt was based more upon - 'they all get it', rather than individual consideration. But, I'm not a great fan of Vets or Doctors in general these days.

Unfortunately in both professions, throughput & profit outranks attention in an increasingly overcrowded and selfish world...
