Concerns about hips
I've posted often enough about Lola pulling her back legs, and it mostly seems to be her right one, I'm wondering if she could have some hip issues. I've read up on displacia and know its the worst thing to do as it only puts ideas into your head, but she's always had a slightly awkward canter, walking and trotting she looks fine, flat out sprinting it's hard to see what's going on, but medium speed her back legs have always looked a bit odd. I'll put a vid up later I've taken on the walk, you can kinda see it.
My question is, do I mention it to the vet? And what sort of coatings are scans etc? She's a happy and healthy enough dog, takes stairs with ease, and mostly goes against the hip dysplasia signs, I might just worry too much

Re: Concerns about hips
Its a tough one to answer and only you can do that. When Moo had her limp I just assumed it was a pulled muscle and until we had the x-rays done we never new it was arthritis. Guess I am saying you can read your dog Xx
