Dog / Labrador Retrievers - Answered 1404 days ago
My dog had weak joints in his hind legs when he was a puppy, but has grown bigger and started running around and climbing up and down the stairs. He loves to play around and wrestle with my other dogs. However, he sometimes yowls and drags his front leg - it often points in a weird direction so I suspect dislocation, but it fixes itself after a while. I can hear his joints click when I pick him up after these incidents. Do you think this problem will go away as he grows, just as it was with his hind legs?

I think what you are dealing with is a case of congenital defects...... Dysplasias and dislocation are not too rare among medium-sized dogs. Just ensure you limit your dog's excercise and visit the veterinarian for a course of action
