My yorkie was diagnosed with hip displasia when she was about 3 months old. She's ten months old now and about 4 1/2 lbs. On Christmas Eve she started limping but it was better by the next day. I've noticed since then that she seems to have trouble sitting and when she does sit it's oddly, almost on her hip. She's also no longer able to climb the stairs though she used to be able to with no difficulty. She doesn't seem to be in any pain though and is fine with walking and running. Should I bring her to the vet to get checked out?
