Does my dog have hip dysplasia? How Bad? (photo)?
Does my dog have hip dysplasia? How Bad? (photo)?
I have a choc. lab who just turned one she weighs 63 lbs and has been limping on her hind left leg for due to an injury that occurred. I took her to the vet (where I work) and we took some x rays. I am not familiar with x rays really since I work kennel most of the time. I took a photo of the x ray and I would like some PROFESSIONAL responses please. I do not mean to sound rude. =] Now the vet said she has hips dysplasia in her hips but the left one is worse. Now I can tell by the x ray that the tech who did the xray did not place her right hip completely straight so I'm sure both hips are the same. Anyways, I took a photo of the hips as best I could. I would like to know the severity of her hip dysplasia if she has it. I wish I could have included the lower parts of her legs. My apology. I would really appreciate the extra advice and second opinion. I currently have her on rimadyl for two weeks and dasuquin supplements. Thanks so much.- Nicole
