Here's an article by a vet on hock instability:
Hock Instability
But really, the best thing you can do is remain calm, try not to second-guess the vet, and wait for the x-rays and diagnosis. Be sure to ask all kinds of questions. It's okay to ask the vet if they think it's luxating patella, hip dysplasia, legge-calve-perthes disease, or hock instability--that's what I did when my Bella had luxating patella--but let the vet make the diagnosis, and try to remain calm until then. If your dog takes a dramatic turn for the worse or seems to be in pain, take him to an emergency vet. Keep us posted!
