Hello. Glad to be here.

I noticed my 3 year old Yorkie (AnnaBear) limping & carrying her right back leg. First I thought she may have a broken toe nail. But it was not.

I took her to the vet. After squeezing her back hips, and rolling them around, he diagnosed her with Hip Displasia.

He seemed frustrated. He said, first she was the wrong breed, then she is the wrong age for hip displasia.

He put her on a pain killer, then recommended another appointment for X-rays.

Should I proceed with his advise? Or is this common in young Yorkies?
I have researched the disease. I found a lot on Herbal treatments, accupuncture, etc.

Does anyone have any experience with Yorkie hip displasia, or should I seek another opinion?

Thanks for helping my AnnaBear,
Michelle Smith
