Maybe it's not CAUSED by diet but my toy poodle had this in one leg and we noticed a huge improvement once we put him on a diet and he got back down to a reasonable weight. When we lived next to my grandparents, my grandpa would feed him anything and everything he wanted and by the time we moved away when the dog was about 2 years old, he weighed about twice what he should (should have been only about 7-8 lbs). He would have a problem with his knee joint popping out of place all the time but after losing the weight, he rarely had an episode. Maybe that's what the poster meant by "diet"??
