How old is your baby? If she kicks her leg sorta out and forward (that is the best description I can make) and the leg from the back looks skinnier than the other, it sounds more like L-C-P disease of the hip. It happens more in males (I think I read that, but if not someone will correct me) but can happen to either sex..
Please let us know what your vet says. I am curious cause I bought a baby that had that affliction....it is usually considered genetic BUT can be a result of injury when young.
If it is LCP, the dog absolutely should not be used in a breeding program and the breeder must be notified so she/he will not breed the parents or their relatives together again. |
