After a week of this off and on yelping and carrying the leg I brought her to the vets. After x-rays, I learned the problem was her hip. Piper had Legg Perthes Disease and needed surgery immediately. When I saw how miss-shapened the top of the femur was and how there were bone fragments floating in the hip socket (which caused the pain) I wondered how it could have gotten this far without me realizing it. If your baby continues to yelp in pain, bring him to the vets and find out what's going on. I feel guilty that I let my little girl go a whole week before I brought her to the vets. She had been spayed 3 weeks earlier and she was fine. |

I cant get my dog into the vet until saturday but today he was jumping around all excited trying to jump on me and last night he was jumping on and off the couch so i hope all is well
