Answer #1

I’ve been around dogs for a long time, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of “leg cramps”…I’m wondering if her knees may be popping in and out…(Luxating Patella)…which is very common in small dogs.

I’d take her to the Vet, and see what they say…they can tell sometimes just by manipulation of the joint…but for sure they can tell with xrays.

In the meantime, help her up on the furniture, etc…don’t be letting her jump…If she’s overweight, put her on a diet…obesity is very hard on joints.
