Do Your Yorkie's Knees Crack?

[Ellie May]

I thought Ellie's knees were cracking when she jumps because she has mild LP in her left leg. She has been on Cosequin for well over a month and I am still hearing it I think.

So, is it possible for dogs with NO knee problems to have cracking knees?
For those whose dogs do have LP, do their knees crack?

If this is something that only happens to dogs with LP, I might have to switch supplements if it doesn't stop soon.

Wylie has LP, and has never limped, skipped, or had cracking - knock on wood.

Roxy's knees cracked and I could feel them crack when I picked he up and held her close to me. That was one of the reason I brought her to the Vet and they did confirm LP. Soon after, TJ's would crack too, and again the Vet confirmed LP. So you know Roxy had surgery to correct the LP, but I also started them both on the Synovi G3 Granules ~ which I think it took a couple of months for me to not hear or feel the 'clicking'

I never hear the clicking anymore. However, every once and a while I feel something, but it is so far and few

Don't know if that helped or not

P.S. They have been on the Cosequin now for a few weeks too

Diggys crack, Bellas do not. No idea what it is but good thread. Maybe we can find out!

If TJ has it too and his crack, I bet that is the problem.
Since it took a couple months with the Synovi, I will give the Cosequin awhile longer. Maybe I am just being impatient but I thought it should stopped a month into it.
