Hi All,
We have recently got our Cane Corso Puppy. Due to importing him to the UK we have had to wait for him to be 15 weeks old before he could come home. He's been with us for a week now and I have noticed that sometimes when getting up from a resting position he clicks slightly, kind of like us cracking our back or fingers.
We do have him on a joint supplement because I am aware of the potential of HD & ED in the breed. His Parents are European Show dogs with great hip & elbow scores but as with genetics you can't predict that those qualities will be passed on.
He doesn't click all the time when rising it's only sometimes and it's not very loud. If the TV was on I would miss the sound completely. We don't let him jump around a lot as we know he is still growing however we do make sure he has enough exercise but isn't over doing it. He doesn't show any signs of pain or limping etc and is more than happy to run around and play.
I was wondering if this is just a normal part of a puppy growing. I will be taking him to register him with our vet and will mention it to them and get them to check him over too but I can't get an appointment until next week thanks to the virus. If needed I will have him X-rayed to check it's all good (If it's safe to do so at his age)
Have any of your puppy's had this whilst growing? Has it been a cause for concern or just simply a part of growing?
