Id ask the vet about that too.luxating patella? is a dislocated knew joint on the front of their hind leg. Toy dogs are prone to this disorder due to their small size. It is actually extremely common in Yorkshire terriers. With age it tends to keep slipping out of its socket. This can occur in yorkies with weak muscles or tendons, as well as yorkies whose kneecap groove is too shallow or narrow.
I hope she checks out good and nothing is wrong with her. good luck. |
