    I’ve had my dog (simba) since 2011. He was always a ball of energy jumped 6 ft fences his whole life, climbed every tree in my yard in chewed on them until I had to get them cut down… Now he’s a old man and I’ve noticed him folding up like a lawn chair when he tried to walk up my two porch stairs.. or swaying left to right when trying to walk … it’s sad😢to see him fading away.. I’m pretty sure his hips are going/gone out… I don’t even know why I wrote this.. just sucks that they only live this long

    Hip dysplasia and other joint issues in dogs are so common today. Any way to help educate pet owners as to what symptoms to watch for is extremely important and this video does an excellent job on this. The sooner the health issue can be identified, the better chances that the pet will have a more pleasant life.

    I think my boxer has this. She started limping off and on in the last month. When she exercises it gets worse. She has some days where you don’t notice. Some days you do notice. I read it could be a partial ACL tear too. We’ve waited a few weeks now to see if it’ll go away. Next step is taking her to the vet.

    My 1 year old lab suddenly developed a limp in her hind left leg. It's not all the time. She did it for a day or two several weeks ago. Then, one day, she woke up as if nothing was wrong. The other day she started again.
    There's no apparent pain, no injury, nothing in paw or pad, nails look okay. "Drawer movement" in leg is okay. She doesn't recoil when I touch her leg or paw. I took her to vet, and they couldn't find a problem. I'm at a loss. I suppose the next step is sedation and x-ray.

      It could be over training as my dog comes everywhere with me in the summer but I'm less active in the winter so going from fields upon fields every summer to just walks around thd block a few times a day in the winter is why I think my dog has a back left hind limp now but it comes and goes but usually comes after a chasing the ball type of walk, she is 10 years old now though but God it is heartbreaking knowing she does not have many years left now 💔 😢

    It could be his food. Gluten (wheat/barley/rye..oats/corn/brown rice) may hurt the gut lining so less nutrients absorb. Carrageenan/Xanthum gum may hurt the gut lining and antibiotics. Nitrites may hurt and oxides/chlorides/carbonates may not help.

    @tehkittehcat i wouldn't worry about it now as your dog is only 3 months old and the bunny hopping is most likely due to his/her muscles not being developed yet. From my vet studies, the bunny hopping is something seen more in adult dogs. Probably at 1 yr old your vet will recommend to you to get an x-ray of your dog's hips and check for possible hip dysplasia then.

    I have a 14 year old miniature Schnauzer who developed signs of hip displasia about six months ago. It deteriorated until she couldn't squat to poop or pee, without falling into it. Then it got to the point where she had to drag her rear legs behind her inorder to be mobile.
    I couldn't stand watching her struggle just to walk. I prayed about it, and eventually came up with the idea of disolving 100 mg of Gabapentin in two quarts of her drinking water. Almost overnight, she quit dragging her legs. As time went on (about three weeks now), she is able to walk again. It is still difficult for her. She can't jump up on the sofa, and she has trouble with the poop squat and sometimes comes back in with a poopy butt, so I have to clean her up.
    She can now run when she gets excited. I lift her up and down on the sofa. But if she really wants to get down, she does, although its more like a crash landing, but it doesn't seem to phase her much.
    She is her happy little self again because of Gabapentin. This is not an advertisement. Just a testimony of how God heard my prayers for my dog who has been with me for fourteen years. None of our prayers go unheard.

    You can't guarantee just as VetVid said. In all it is an inherited trait. My labs mother didn't have this.. But my lab has it. It broke my heart to find this out. But the mother had the recessive gene and well my lab now has this. In all have the dog well checked by a Vet. And know that when they are young its tough to peg because they are still forming and growing. In all its like luck of the draw. In all I would save for a year or 2. To have a reputable breeder. ;)

    I've just taken on a mastiff who is 11 month old. I've noticed a limp on his front leg and that telltale bunny hop at his rear legs, while telling him to sit I noted there was a click on both sides which can be felt when he sits. There is a fair bit of limping when he plays with my German Shepherd although still being young he continually wants to play. Being a mastiff he has still to put on his bulk although at this age he is already five stone and the hight of my German Shepherd, she isn't the small sized Shepherd either.
    I believe all dogs should be given all the chance of life until it is no longer benefiting their life or are in extreme pain.
    Any ideas on the way forward with him.
    He is great with the GSD and follows my younger daughter everywhere. Already taking on his roll of protector in the family within a week of being here.

I can hear him crying under his breath. not sure if it's this or spinal or even the worst of the worst, being liber disease or cancer. He isn't a very active dog at all. He lays on me and sleeps all the time but he is also 8 years old. There's been a history of him pooling blood in the past that was intermittent, but hasn't happened in several months. I don't want a vet to guess what's wrong based on his breed and common issues with that. how many vets actually put a dog under anesthesia and do that movement test and how many miss it with just x-ray? I need him better. he is hiding under stuff and not having anything to do with me. Help

    My dog is a Golden Retriever and he's about 13 years old. In January we've noticed he's been having troubles getting around. We've trimmed his claws but his hips still seemed weak. We took him to the park one day and he tried to chase after a squirrel but failed. I'm not sure if it's Hip Dysplasia or if it's just that he's old. If it isn't Hip Dysplasia, can we do anything to add strength to his legs? Like steriods or something that we can put in his hips/legs, or any kind of surguery?

    My seven-month-old rottweiler is showing signs of hip dysplasia. She is booked for x rays and I’m worried for her, even though her vet has said that with surgery she should be able to go on to live a good, fun-filled life.

    I took my Chihuahua to the veterinarian and he put her down he said there was nothing he could do for her and there was no treatment or medicine I wish I would’ve got a second opinion so the veterinarian decided to put my dog to sleep forever don’t know if I made the right decision but I could not afford to take her for a second opinion It’s not easy having a dog especially when they get sick and when you don’t have the money to pay hospital bills surgeries can be very expensive thousands of dollars yeah I don’t think I would ever own another dog again 😢😢

    He should say "hip dysplasia" is when the hip sockets are not deep enough for the ball joint causing the ball joint dislocates/slips out of socket

    Under the commonly found in these dogs section, what about mastiffs? He's also mixed with something I believe Labrador .
    My dog has been limping on one of his back legs (although not very severely until today)
    I started urging my mom to take him to a vet the first days I noticed it (a few weeks ago)
    But today it's different. He seems to be putting extra effort into not using that leg BUT not only that it seems the front leg on the opposite side is bothering him now as well. Maybe that's because he has to put extra weight on it since his hind leg is off the ground. I keep asking my mom to take him to the vet but she says that it will cost like $5000 to get it fixed, which we just don't have right now. ( which I don't believe in the slightest, I think MAYBE it could be as high as $2000 but even that sounds unreasobable.)His other hind leg and front leg seem to be fine. Anyone with any useful info please enlighten me. This is the first dog that I have ever really considered mine and I hate to see him suffer. I can't even stop a tearing up just writing this.

      Hips, knees, and spine can all present with similar clinical signs. A thorough physical and neuro exam should pinpoint the problem. I assume they checked for a Cranial(Anterior) cruciate injury in the knee? There is Vetvid video on that injury.

    i'm currently studying orthopaedics in vet school and we learnt that the Ortolani test is for hip subluxation and the click is actually a good sign because it means the dorsal acetabular rim has integrity. When there isn't a clunk sound and more of a grating or sliding feeling then that is more of a problem.
