When I came home from work Tuesday night, Chanel wasn't there by the door, wagging her tail and wanting to lick my face. I had a feeling something was wrong because that's very unusual - she's always there before I even open the door. I found her in my room. She was barely wagging her tail and she looked restless. After bringing her to the vet, turns out that her front, left limb is ... its not broken ... okay, so the groove that holds the patella (knee cap) is known not to be deep in a maltese. So, she twisted her leg and... the kneecap dislodged from it. It also doesn't help that she's overweight.
After they bandaged her up, she started wagging her tail. =) They say she should be fine. We have to bring her back in a week to remove her cast. We just have to start her on a strict diet so she can lose weight.
