The next time you visit your vet, for shots and whatever, you should mention it to them, they can move the knee cap around and see if it seems loose to them. It's much more common in small breed dogs, but any dog can have it.
hey,first off I am not here to judge.
second after reading your post I agree with pitc9,a luxating patella also comes to mind...2 of our babies had this and 'Jakey' especially when his popped out limped around and couldnt put any weight on until he 'popped' it back again...His wasnt so bad for the vet to suggest or offer surgery cause it only happened once in a while,Christies(our little girls) however was more severe and she had both her back knees done....
my advice?.....keep an eye on it,and if it happens again or your baby is in any discomfort/distress find a way for your baby to seen by a vet...they might just give you 'metacam' an anti-inflamatory drop which does work wonders on mild cases...
Lastly be empowered,if you feel your baby does need a vet,find a way dont let anything stand in your way of giving your all and being the best you can.
