My dog skips when walking. Is it a knee injury? Should I see a vet?

Question

Panda is skipping quite a lot when he walks and trots he also is not keen on playing with his ball could he have a tendon injury in his knee no heat or swelling and can't see if patellar is moving or not am resting and giving metacam should I try that for a few days or get him checked out. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 9 months old

It could be Panda has a luxating patella, which is when the kneecap comes out of it's correct anatomical position, and it can cause the skipping. Rest him this weekend, and have him seen by vet on Monday.
