LOL... can't think of any other way to describe what Minnie has. I've been noticing for a while now that when she's sleeping on her back, her knees tend to curve backwards. But last night as she was sleeping in my lap, I was playing with her feet and they seem very... flopsy. They actually move side to side almost like the bones aren't connected to anything. She walks/runs/climbs/jumps with no problem and the feet look normal with no deformities (except one toenail that grows crooked). I compared her movement with Slinkee's when he went to sleep and she's definitely 'looser' than he is. Any ideas why?

No thoughts, just kind of bumping it in case anyone else has an idea

Her joints may just be looser because she is still growing.

Any other babies out there with loose joints? The vet didn't seem worried about it, and I'm not exactly worried since her movements are fine, just going to keep an eye on it.

How old is your little one? I will try it with mine and see what the results are but it may take a bit as they have to be asleep and limp.

Loki is about 3 months (I checked his birth record and realized I was a little ahead of myself before), but he tends to sleep with his legs stretched out. I will check as soon as I can and report back on how his legs feel.
