have your vet x-ray his spine. My Pepper does this and it is caused by some bad 
disk in his back...doesn't have anything to do with his legs, although it 
effects his legs. It seems to be worse after he has had a bad episode of back 
pain. This may not be the case with your chi, but it is worth looking into.

  When I take Twinks on long walks, she starts flipping her left hind leg 
  out. I had my vet examine her a few months ago regarding floating 
  patellas and he said he couldn't feel anything. Do they all run like 
  this? I notice she walks kind of strange on grass but I always figured 
  it was the grass rubbing her belly. Michelle & Twinks
