Animal Smiley 036 luxating ... um... kneecap

I can't remember the term now!

Anyway, my little one year old pup has it, and she skips when she walks... I was just wondering something. Are there any little exercises that could be done with her little hind legs to strengthen the muscles? It just seems there should be something like that to help it. Humans have physical therapy for knee problems - why not dogs?

If anyone has any advice.... other than no jumping. That's pretty impossible. I try to dive and catch her, but it's a full time job. She has a kitty friend and they are all over the place. I try pillows on the floor, but she jumps over them. I tried an apple crate next to my bed - she totally ignores it. So... exercises?

thanks!
