Are you sure it's her hip and not her knee? Luxating Patella would seem more likely than a hip issue like hip dysplatia (that's most of the time something that effects senior dogs, not 3 yr. olds).
NO jumping and even if the vet said her extra weight isn't much, start with a plan to get that extra bit of weight off her asap. A thin dog will have a much easier time with a joint problem than a slightly overweight one.
The vet will be able to diagnose and guide you. I'd get an appointment as soon as you possibly can since I'm sure she's in pain.
Good luck |
