Spent the early morning at the vet's because Cita threw her patella (kneecap) out of whack this morning and needed to have it manipulated back into place. Poor Cita - she was hopping around on three legs with her back leg locked in a curled-up position - which is what happens when the kneecap slips down or up. This pup was born with a crappy knee joint. Here's a photo of a recovering Cita - in her usual spot on the sofa. The ultimate remedy will be surgery to correct it - but I'd like to prolong that as long as possible. Our wonder vet, Dr. June, showed me how to massage the patella back into place - when it happens again.
