A male Rottweiler, four months old, was presented to the emergency service. The physical examination was normal but the orthopedic examination revealed a non-weightbearing lameness of the right hindleg. Palpation of the right hindleg revealed pain in the knee joint, but the knee itself had no increase in drawer motion and there was no crepitation. No joint effusion could be seen or palpated.
