You really need to see an orthopaedic specialist. It is well worth the time and a little extra money...Miss Mini had this at 10mos and it turned out to be Legges Perthes. Sometimes, an orthoepaedic can see things that others can not. Miss Mini's surgery was telling but not as telling as when he went in for the surgery, it was far worse...the dr. took pics to show me and for his file as well.

Hopping is pain and or sensitivity...it needs to be addressed, your pup can't talk but is definitely showing you his problem.

Good luck and let us know how it goes....
