Back from vet. Logan has mild hip dysplasia & a flattening of the hips. He had an x-ray taken in january for a tummy problem & one taken today. We compared them & the vet said she could see a flattening of the hips & very mild hip dysplasia. My untrained eye couldn't really see a difference. She gave him an anti-inflammatory & told me to limit jumping. I've also read that playing frisbee is bad. I'm going to look into pet steps today. There are acupunturists & chiropractors around, but I don't know if that will help. my vet said I could do it if I wanted. The jist I get though is it won't fix the problem it will just be a form of pain management. My vet seemed shocked that it showed up already being that he is only 3.5 years old. From what I've read this is genetic. Is it weird that it wasn't noticible on the x-ray in January, but is noticable now? Is it possibly injury related not genetic?
