grey14me Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Lately, I've noticed that Holly's joints will crack...usually when she stretches. I don't remember ever hearing another dog's joints crack. Does anyone else's dog do this? She is on glucosamine and salmon oil...and has been since I got her almost two years ago. Is this anything to be concerned about? I guess I just think it's strange because I've never known another dog to do this...

RobinM Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 This happens to Polli ALL the time. She is 9.5 and gets glucosomine every night. It does't seem to bother her though!

grey14me Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 good to hear...well, not good that it happens to Polli, but that it doesn't bother her! and that there's another dog that does this. it doesn't seem to bother Holly at all either. heck, my own pop and it doesn't bother me, but it just seemed weird that I'd never heard another dog do it before Quote Michelle...forever missing her girls, Holly 5/22/99-9/13/10 and Bailey 8/1/93-7/11/05 Religion is the smile on a dog...Edie Brickell Wag more, bark less :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest charmsmom Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Paris's shoulder pops. She has arthritis in that shoulder....but the popping doesn't seem to bother her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kitty_cat Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 One of Stewie's toe's does this too. It makes a small clicking/knuckle cracking sound when he walks, but not on all walks. Doesn't seem to bug him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MZH Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Maybe it's like people who pop their finger joints; the pop makes them feel better. I run for the hills when I see someone about to pop their joints; different strokes for different folks. Marcia in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
