Have anyone noticed their yorkies getting muscle spazes (cramps)? Zoe just had luxating patella surgery approx 2 months ago and today when he ran down the stairs to meet my mom he completely stopped...held his leg up and couldn't move. He looked like he was in so much pain and I realized that its his bad leg in which he got the surgery on. It took a few minutes but he seems to be pretty much back to normal. He's running around, jumping, barking, wanting to play. I did give him 4 small drops of pain killers - metacam because he did not have a good reaction to the other painkiller thats bad to the stomach.

I took tomorrow morning off to take him to the vet but I may wait till tuesday to see how he does.

Do you think his patella went out of place again or was it a muscle spaz?
