When I hold Chanel, sometimes I hear her arms kind of pop, like a snapping sound. And one time I was holding her and she lifted her right leg and I heard a pop. I think it's coming from her shoulder near the socket that connects the arm. You know how when people stretch your arm may "give"...but she is only 18 weeks old...strange? Overly worried? Help! She still runs like nothing is wrong. I have touched her and nothing...she seems find.
I am worried because about 4 years ago I adopted a Maltese mix pup, 10 months old, and the same day I took her to the vet and found out she had two severe luxating patellas in her hind legs...at 10 months old. I was in college, part time job, I had to take her back to the rescue because I couldn't afford the surgery. SHe was the sweetest thing!
So, I have had this experience and know that fixing luxating patellas, etc. is costly. Am I freaking out?
Thanks for any input!
