I have a 8 1/2 year old pom who during some xrays for her stomach last year the vet noticed that one of her hips had come out of the socket and fused outside of the socket. We had no idea since Maya never jumped much and had only started to limp and have trouble going up the two stairs to our house recently. They do not want or can't do surgery on it. They told me when I had her in last week for her eye problem to put her on glucosimine and to get her weight down. She weighs 12.8 lbs and should weigh around 11 lbs. But he said that small dogs can have hip problems too. Good luck |
