The vet said there is a slight hip dysplasia with a flattening of the hips. She put him on anti-inflammatory & told me to try & limit his jumping. I need to call my vet & discuss in more depth. They got kind of busy & I was rushed out. I'm not sure if this is a forever thing that we'll have to deal with or if he's a little sore & he'll heal out of it with a little rest. I'm also looking into chiropractors & acupunture. Will either of these help the issue? He also already had muscle atropophy(sp) happening in the leg with the dysplasia. I'm hoping that if the anti-inflammatory helps with the pain then he'll use that leg & build the muscle back up.
