It sounds to me as if his knee cap slipped out of place. A very similar situation happened to my Pita, she ended up needing knee surgery because it kept slipping out of place. However, she is fine now. I hope Jimmy feels better soon. - em :-)

Jimmy is very dramatic when he is hurt and you have to be careful not to work him up and not to get bit. So i finally told my husband who was petting him and trying to check out his leg to leave him alone for a minute. we did and hi finally bent it and then got up and put weight on it. he is not putting a lot of wight on it. my husband touched all over and did not get a respond. My question is what do you think he did. were waiting to go to bed to see if he is ok. he sleeps in bed with us. this has been a very bad day the neighbors house was on fire. the drug store messed up my prescription. my daughter lost her brakes. im a little emotional right now.
