Is your dog's unusual barking a secret code for something mysterious?

Cats can get 'luxating patellae' or dislocating kneecaps.I have never heard one actually click though It doesn't always cause discomfort. I would get your vet to give him an MOT to make sure there isn't something you can do to help reduce the chances of lameness.

My Simba had a clicky ankle yeas ago -I pressed for an x ray and it had been fractured and was knitting together wrong. He had to have it rebroken and pinned. Worst case scenario, but I would get your Vet to have a good look at it as Simba was walking around fine, just noisy!
