My 10 1/2 month old basset puppy has me so worried. Last week, I noticed he was limping on his back right leg... it was a small limp, something that only I would notice (I know my puppy from head to toe). I woke up the next morning, and the limp had intensified to the point where he would barely walk on it without being in pain. I called his vet, who is on vacation, and the soonest I can get an appt for is this Tuesday. I am so worried about him. I have put pressure on his leg from the toes to his hip just to see if he winces or shows any signs of pain, and he doesn't. I've tried extending his hip out to all range of motions and he does not seem to be resisting, with his knee the same way either. Any suggestions as to what this may be?? Does this sound like the onset to hip dysplasia?? I am concerned beyond belief... help!
