I'm so sorry tha Mya has fractured her hip. She was running and fractured her hip? About 6 weeks ago Piper who was 8 months started to limp a little. After about a week I brought her to the vets and they x-rayed her hip. It was fractured. The ball of the femur had a crack all around it and there was a floating bone chip. That type of fracture could be from trauma or Legg Perthes Disease. I know for a fact that Piper did not hurt herself because she is watched 24/7 and there was no injury. Piper had hip surgery on December 29. I don't know , but I don't think a 9 month old puppy's hip should fracture from running across the yard. Puppies are suppose to run, jump and play without their bones breaking.
