Thanks for the info! I'll have to run to the drug store and check it out - I appreciate the quick response!

The vet told me that Teddi's legs do this but that most yorkies do because he said that the knee socket is really little on these dogs so they tend to pop out of the socket because they are so shallow but then pop right back in. He didn't say it was a problem, said it was very common.

Thats good to know - I hope it is nothing to worry about, but I just want to get everything checked out and I'll start supplements to hopefully prevent something from starting. I read about flexicose brand supplement, but now I can't find the info?? I think I'm going to try that to start
