Puppy with dysplasia - heartbroken

26 replies

My 10 month old puppy has just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and grade 2 luxating patella (neither condition associated with her breed). I suspected, but it’s heartbreaking to have it confirmed. The vet says there might be a period where it’s not causing her pain, but I guess she’s never going to be able to run and jump is she? She’s very off colour this evening and is whining, could that be the after effects of sedation and limb manipulation? I gave her her first dose of pain killers tonight. Does anyone have any experience or how things might go for her?

Once our dog had swum for probably a year he did exactly the same exercise as our other dog apart from chasing to retrieve as they said all the stopping fast and turning would be bad for him. We certainly did 2-3 hour hikes with him no problem
