I'm not sure if your dog is young or a puppy but it sounds like it. Puppies are especially prone to skeletal issues such as strains or breaks because their bones are still soft and growing. Same with the muscles, they are constantly growing and susceptible to injury. Just because she has moments of play that doesn't mean she's ok- dogs have an uncanny ability to override pain signals when something else is on their minds. Others have suggested patella issues, and while I can't speak to that I know Tanza is a breeder and knows well the issues that can affect our breed, let alone knowing about identifying issues. Good that you have an Appointment, in the meantime- continue to limit jumping and running so nothing furthers the problem. Is she has lax (loose) ligaments this can cause popping and will be a lifetime concern for injury if not carefully supervised. If it were me, I would want to contact an orthopedic, so if your vet doesn't have a definite cause that is a good route to go. Might be an initial cost but in the long run save you a lot

I'm relievd to hear that your little girl is geting better. I have difficulties in persuading mine that a seemingly dead bee or wasp can be just as dangerous as a live one.

I am sadder than expressable today to say our beloved has left us @ not quite 9 mos. She took a turn for the worse yesterday and passed today after three cardiac arrests. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
-
Oh my goodness… I'm so sorry for your sudden and unexpected loss.
-
Very sorry for your loss. Our hearts and thoughts are with you.

I was shocked and sad that your beloved Beni had died. I can't begin to express my sorrow and commiserations. My thoughts are with you.
-
So sorry for your untimely loss. Does your vet have any idea what may have caused the illness?
-
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, sending you virtual hugs and prayers for peace in your heart and mind. She was way to young to cross the bridge. Did you ever conclude what made her so ill in the first place? Was it a bug sting?
-
Oh my God! I have tears in my eyes for you. No one ever expects a young dog to meet with an early passing. My heartfelt condolences to you, my friend.
-
Oh, no, I'm so sorry to read this. Condolences from our house to yours.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We had to put our Suni down in April and understand what you go through right now.
