Possible HD?
Hi all. My bf and I adopted a 4 month old puppy a couple weeks ago and took him in for hip X-rays because his walk looked a little funny at times. The vet said she suspects hip dysplasia based on the X-rays, but was on the fence. We have opted to have his images sent to a radiologist to confirm/deny.
Regardless, I feel like you can’t have too many opinions and I have such bad anxiety waiting, so figured I would post here in case anyone has experience with puppies with HD and what the X-rays look like.
So far, he acts like a normal puppy. He runs, plays, and doesn’t ever act in pain. He was apprehensive to play the first week we had him, but he was very malnourished and underweight and has since had his personality and playfulness come out a ton!
My dogs paw is swollen and pussing, not for the first time
My English bulldog’s paws often get swollen. He doesn’t chew at his paws at all but his paw seems to be getting worse. the vet says it’s allergies which i believe, but this is the first time it has started to puss. it also looks like there’s a hole in it. he is on apaquil, i soak his paws in unscented epsom salts every so often, i have special cleaning pads and he gets bathed once a week with special shampoo. It is not food allergy related as he is only on his hypoallergenic food and gets nothing else. Any advice or recommendations!? or does anyone know wth this issue is!!?
