I don't know how old your boy is but his movement patterns are definitely abnormal - as you can tell.


Depending upon what is going on with your boy - yes there are some natural remedies that can assist in arthritis and hip dysplasia - but you need to get a good diagnosis first. Natural remedies will not cure any arthritic condition but can help/assist your dog live a more comfortable life.
She is only one year old, Gail. My guess is LCP at that age, but who knows.
