A few months ago I made a post about Sparky having a limp. It turns out that he has a Luxating Patella, which is very common is small dogs like him. Rather than explaining it to all of you, I decided to post a link to a great article I found.

It is important to know that if your dog develops a Luxating Patella that there are options. We have decided not to have the surgery performed right now, but to give him Rimadyl (dog Ibuprofen) to help with the pain. Surgery might be an option later.
