When we adopted Rudy shortly after his knee kinked up and we knew the signs. Our dog Alley had a knee that would slip out of the joint. We did surgeries and therapy and pool therapy and treadmill, underwater therapy you name it and we did it. They had put in her leg came through her knee. And I do mean that as it came through her skin and was sticking out of her. It was removed one more surgery, and she was never the same. How could she after all the surgeries she had done on that knee.

Back to Rudy it was shortly after we adopted him and he was running around and his knee kinked up so we took him to the vet to confirm that his knee was indeed sliding out. We go to the surgeon person. I’m not sure I got her correct but it’s a specialty hospital here in Irvine fabulous. He did confirm again that it was the knee sliding in and out of the joint, but it wasn’t serious that there was plenty of time to wait before thinking about surgery.

The last few days may be a week or so Rudy has been having his curl up. You look over and don’t see a leg. His hip is going into something of a spasm. There is a bump at the top of his hip that when you massage it, his hip will come back down.

I’ve made sure that he’s taking his glucosamine and have limited his walk time so it’s not so stressful. I don’t want it to be too short, but I don’t want him to go so long that it starts to bother him. It’s all a matter of time. I have to see how it goes. It will start acting normal again. I’ll keep you updated.
