Popping joints

[Tonya]

At Sarah's last checkup, the doc mentioned that Poms are prone to knee problems but her knees were good. But I noticed that her knees often pop, like when I pick her up or she stretches. Do your dogs joints pop?

Hmmm Major has never done that, that I know of. I'm not sure wether you should be concerned or not. I don't really know too much about it. Sorry!

Mine don't but we see lots of small dogs with that problem, it's called luxating patella (like you said, loose knees so to speak :D )

Speaking of that we had a JRT puppy come in today with awful luxating patellas on both knees, poor thing. He was so painful in his joints, most dogs seem to tolerate them pretty good.

Bitsy's knees pop sometimes too. I had a yorkie when I was growing up who had that too.

My sisters Pom, Honey, has knee problems. She has to have surgery sometime :( poor girl. It's rather expensive surgery to.

None of my dog's do though.
