🐾 Signs & Symptoms of Hip Dysplasia in Dogs 🐶
Hip dysplasia is a common joint issue in dogs, especially in larger breeds. Early detection can make a big difference in your dog’s quality of life. Here’s what to look out for:
🔹 Limping or lameness in the hind legs
🔹 Difficulty standing up, climbing stairs, or jumping
🔹 Decreased activity or reluctance to play
🔹 Swaying or “bunny hopping” gait
🔹 Pain or stiffness, especially after rest
🔹 Loss of muscle mass in hind limbs
🔹 Noticeable discomfort when hips are touched
If your pup shows any of these signs, it’s time for a vet visit to see what's going on. Then EARLY intervention with Physiotherapy can help manage pain, build up the supportive muscles and prevent further joint damage.
💙 Keep your dog active, healthy, and pain-free!
