Topic Dog Boards / Visitors Questions / could it be hip dysplacia?
- By Guest [gb] Date 11.04.05 13:37 UTC
Pls help i am so worried and my vet could only fit me in 2mro afternoon. I have a 5 month old husky girl who seemed perfectly fine until a 2 days ago. When she lies down she usualy lies in a frog position with her back legs extended outwards, behind her. But now she lies down with both legs to one side and when she tries to get up she seems to slightly struggle.
I have also notice a slight limp but not sure as i feel i could be paranoid. Two days go while in the kitchen i heard a huge welp from her and she came running into me from the sitting room. I have an 8 year old weimaraner which has never been aggressive with her, so i wasn't sure if they had a scrap or she may have fallen off the sofa onto our tiled flooring, as she runs around like a lunatic!
She didnt seem in pain as i checked her over, but these past couple of days her back legs seem quite stiff and her back end seems to sway saide to side (very slightly, hardly noticable), which it wasnt doing before. Am i being paranoid?????? could she have just hurt herself and is bruised???? or is it hip dysplacia and do symptoms spring up with in days. Im sick with worry and 2mro afternoon seems a lifetiem away!

PS BOTH HER PARENTS, GRAND PARENTS AND GREAT GRANDPARENTS HAVE BEEN HIP SCORED AND EYE TETSED WITH SCORES NO HIGHER THAN 10 BUT AVERAGING 6! Saw all results as breeder had all relatives there and showed me the health certificates.

Hopefully she's just sprained something or badly bruised it.  Hope all's OK.  Ooh, I know what it's like all this worrying, when hopefully it will be something or nothing.

Out of interest, what happened with your pup?

I had been thinking of you as I went through something similar with mine. Sorry I couldnt post a reply at the time to reassure you.
