So I got home from work this morning and Noba could barely walk on his leg. I decided to not wait until his appt tomorrow and rushed him to the vet. His regular vet is on vacation, so the fill-in took a look at him and his initial assessment was a dislocated hip??? They decided to do x-rays, which involved sedation, so I went home. I received a horrifying phone call a few hours later... it was not a dislocated hip, but it turns out my 10 month old sweet basset has major signs of hip dysplasia , and he has the onset of pano, which i later learned will most likely outgrow by age 2. Hip dysplasia has me petrified. I looked at his hip x-rays, they are not good at all. He is now on crate confinement for three weeks, only allowed out to use potty, not even to lay on the floor with me or on his soft bed... If in three weeks, there is no improvement, well my vet and I will talk about issues dealing with quality of life. I have been an emotional wreck all day. Hip dysplasia is not supposed to happen to him this young... help! Should I seek a second opinion?
