it all started when i took me pup for a nice walk as the next day he kept licking his paw this went on for a while then in the evening he kept biting it so bad that he took a layer off the pad so took him to vets to day and they gave him some antibioctics , then me car broke down so me oh bin trying to fix that with a few trips to the scrap place as i have an old car so while he was doing that i took me pup to park to play with a jack russal we know he was not off his lead for 1 min when he came back to me crying and dragging his leg i had to carry him home he weighs 26kg then vets he has done something to his hip he has had 2 injections and on a different planet he looks so sad if the pain killers dont work they want to do x ray on thursday i was just wondering if any body had a pup do this , i kept thinking is it my fault may b i have bin taking him out to much ect with him .

Sorry to hear that Rach, hope the little chap gets better soon.

Bad day indeed. Many years ago I had a Golden pup who did something similar and were were CONVINCED his hip score would come out as really terrible as it happened 2 or 3 times. He was scored as soon as he turned one and his hips were normal. (Different scoring system in Sweden, and since then they've changed it, but his score was normal "without remarks" and that is meant to equal a combined score of less than 10 when compared to UK.) So fingers crossed, it can happen. We never did find out what the problem was but it never happened to him as an adult.
