Anyone ever had a bulldog with...

loud popping/cracking noise when they walked?  Jesse just started doing this but she's not limping at all or feeling bad.  She was at the orthopedic vet a few months ago and he said she had bad hips and a loose patella, but he recommended just doing adequen and rimadyl.  I know my husband's ankles crack every step he takes and he's fine.  Just wondered if anyone has experienced this, I'm not sure wether to take her back or just wait and see if she starts to limp with it.

Sohpia didn't crackle and pop,

But I don't think it is a problem is she isn't having any other issues....I know I crackle and pop a lot and I am fine!!

Aww.....I hope that treatment helps! With

Sophie, she actually has the same two issues ---but there were never cracking or popping sounds---

just mild limping.   Adequan injections have really helped her----and of course, we never let her JUMP

off of the couch like she used to! It was a hard habit to break her of---even though we've always

had little stairs for her, she still only wanted to jump  LOTS of training and TREATS ---and now she

almost ALWAYS uses the stairs.   Hope your baby will get better!  :)
