Is he having cramps or is he knee slipping out of place, does he hold it up when it happens.

This kiddo really needs to see a vet as this could be neurological. Next time it happens, record it on your phone's video so the vet can see *exactly* what you're seeing.

This sounds exactly like Luxating Patellas @ grade 3 to 4. It certainly could be something else but either way it's painful & needs to be addressed ASAP. Praying it's nothing more serious then LP. Please keep us informed.
