We have a 10 week old Labrador puppy who is starting to show signs of hip dysplasia. We had her checked over at 8.5 weeks when she went for her jabs as I had an early concern about it. Vet said all fine.
However when she gets up, she sits first then stands and she bunny hops a lot.
She is going back to the vet on Monday for her second set of jabs. I will raise my concerns.
I was naive, I did ask about hip scores and didn't really get an answer, I had my concerns before we picked her up, I was convinced then by DH that it was just a puppy growing fast and unable to keep up with her legs.
We have had a shit few months, our old lab was put to sleep only 3 weeks ago with a brain tumour. I was desperate for a dog to fill the void.
