Max our new yorkie was at my birthday party (still can't be left... Cries non stop) He was running on wood tiles we were laying out on the floor. He yelped then wouldn't put weight on that leg... I had the vet check him for luxating patella on his wellness check at 8 weeks but they said pups that young have unstable knees until they are older. Don't tell me this little guy has a heart murmur and luxating patellas. Is there anything else to watch on his knees? I don't let him go on stairs or put him on furniture. He sleeps wedged between my husband and my pillow with his kennel between us too so he can't jump down off the bed. Plus we have the shortest bed available because one of our shiz tzu's has legs about 5" long and can't jump up.
Running around again and putting weight on that leg now so what do you do now for this? Vet check or just try to keep him quiet?
