Hi All,
I'm having some concerns about Emmee...Lately when she stands or even changes position during sleep, she snap crackles and pops!!! She doesn't show any signs of pain, and there is no limping, but I'm still a little concerned. She is a little over a year old, I thought that only older dogs (like people) had joints that popped like this. Does anyone else have a younger dog that sounds like it is getting a chiropractic realignment every time they get up???
???
Blessings and Slobbers,
Heather & Emmee, PSD

Betti boop snaps and pops every once in a while. It happened a lot when she first came home two years ago. She was nervous and held her muscles tight. It occurs when she stretches sometimes, too.
We went to the veterinarian over a year ago and they x-rayed her bladder for stones and noted that she has great hips.
Whenever I've asked the doctor about snapping and popping in my shoulders they are never concerned about it.
Can never be too safe, though, eh?

Here's one link in defense of normal snap, crackle, and pop:
