genetic problems in Pomeranians?

my step-mother has an 8 yr old Pom, a few weeks ago i took her for a walk, i had to carry her across the road because she couldn't keep up with my faster pace (there were trucks coming so i had to hurry), i put her back down an suddenly she was limping, i thought she had a rock in her foot, but when i lifted her back leg she cried out. than a few days ago we were playing on the floor and she suddenly cried out again, but she was only limping for about a minute. so i was wondering do Poms get knee problems?

    My Chi jumped off the couch & I took her to the vet. Her kneecap went out of place. It still does every now & then. I notice this happens to her when she stretches after waking up mainly or just stretches. Then she'll limp but it goes back to normal after a while. Some pets have it permenantly & have to have surgery.

    Take her to the vet since she's in pain cause she yelps. It could be something else for all we know. Don't take a chance. The longer you wait, the worse it could get. If it's a fractures or broken bone, it could heel badly. I hope it's minor & she feels better soon.

    "Tcup" something isn't bred with the help of a good breeder. Pomeranians are available one class length that's 3-7lbs. you're susceptible to stand any style of issues, first beginning with the breeder scamming you out of outrageous quantities of funds. Then no longer being around to fulfill any "assure" interior the form a controversy does get up with the puppy. further down the line, any style of ailments by using being poorly bred, and substandardly small. heart subject concerns are straightforward with canine this small, brittle vulnerable bones, neurological subject concerns, epidermis/allergic reaction subject concerns. i could come across a suited breeder that breeds to everyday canine.

    they are small dogs and have tiny legs so yes their knees can pop out of socket quite easily. it is called luxating patellas.
