My show cocker spaniel puppy has just turned 14 weeks and has recently started have a clicking sound sometimes in her back legs next to knee joint when she gets up or stretches is she just going through growing pains? Or should I be worried she has got the vets next week for her health check, she only goes for 15 min on lead walk once a day and short periods of playing

Hello!  I don't think that it's growing pains- that usually refers to something different in people.  Usually some friction or a 'rub' is occuring within the mechanism of the joint and this can be caused by other problems (secondary to...), or potentially lead to them.  We would always recommend reporting it to your vet.

I hope your puppies are now okay, If not then can contact to local animal doctor.  I am also adopting two cute puppies for the first time at my apartments in Istanbul. They are only one and half months old. I am so much excited.  Wish me a good Luck!

Hello!  It took me a long time to find this - please try to start a new topic on a new page in order to get our attention.   Young puppies need space to run around in, really as soon as they are vaccinated - at least on the end of a lead.  Before then, taking them into different dog-free environments and letting them interact with different people - different heights, clothes, voices etc - is good for their mental wellbeing and development.  New things that pups are exposed to when they are still small enough to live with their parents, they will accept almost effortlessly as part of their environment.  A puppy that meets a new sound / object at 5 months old may be much less accepting.
