| Poor Pippin She did something to her back leg last night. I think she was bending down trying to get some soft treats out of a kong and she hurt her back knee She was limping all night and this am. Vet said loose kneecap and to keep an eye on it for a couple of days. Gave Dasuquin...so hard to watch her limping around. But she gets by, Drinking and eating so that is a good sign. Also he said she still has her baby teeth and will pull them when she gets spayed next month. She is six months today. Sue in Pgh |

| Jumping from furniture is very well know for popping those knees out....was the vet able to work it back in?...sometimes, they can manipulate that knee back into the correct place....make sure she is not jumping from furniture or stairs..... |

| No sofa jumping No, she was really quiet last night ate and then I gave her the kong. She was fine before that. Then she laid down for a little while and when she got up from the floor, she was limping. I always watch when she gets off the couch. She jumps so hard and far. I never thought just chewing on something would throw it out. Too bad because we have puppy kindergarten and she loves to play with the other dog in the class-a corgi. But he is bigger than she is and all muscle. She just flops underneath him and he just rolls all over her. No more playing together. I just can't risk her hurting her knee again. And the vet said to keep her quiet for the next couple of weeks...Hah! He doesn't know the Pip. She just loves to play. Vet said he didn't to pop it back in...only loose. On a scale from 1-4 (4 the worst) she was at a 1. She is just now starting to put it on the floor. But no pressure yet. But that is a good sign. Since last night it hasn't been on the floor at all. So hard to see our babies in pain. |
