    Knee buckling issue on Gander? (See video)

    My 9 week old gander has an odd knee buckle while standing that I noticed about a week ago. I've checked his legs and feet and all seems normal. It is pretty much constant, and doesn't seem to effect him in any sort of way regarding mobility. Just concerns me and want to make sure it is nothing.
