Luxated Patella??
Here at work, I heard Jimmy (age 5; Mini Aussie and Mini Poodle cross) whimper, and saw him standing, but his right rear leg was off the ground and looked like he was "sitting". He hobbled over to me...

I forgot to clarify that once Jimmy could relax the leg - he was fine. Was romping around with Ben shortly afterward.
OK - will work on keeping all 4 feet on the ground - but that's easier said than done...LOL! No more "chase the water spray from the hose" - THAT game gets kind of scary anyway. He's an Aussie - he NEEDS to "chase". Fortunately, we live on a lake and he loves to swim :-)
Jack gets glucosamine anyway - so giving a chew to Jimmy is easy. Crossing my fingers that was a "once in a lifetime event" like my other dog - but we DO have a good Veterinary Orthopedic Surgeon in Kalamazoo if all else fails....
