As stated in the above article, I would notice a slight gimp (sometimes) after she ran after whatever. Then one morning it gave way, she held up the rear leg and would not step down. She is at the vet right now being repaired. She has had the best of food, been well kept, had five acres to romp on all her life,(8 yrs old) sleeps in our bed, etc. Never thought something like this would happen to her, the "picture of health" dog... Knowing what I know now, I suggest you pay attention to any unusual missteps that your 'babies" have. Might save him/her some pain and a future of arthritis. Our Catahoula tore her ccl.

I'd take your dog to the vet to see what the problem could be. Hi Mandy -
