Ditto to all the above advice. My husky Cody is 6 and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Like you, I thought it was from a high jump into a pick up. It wasn't the jump that injured her. It was the pain of the arthritis jumping into the truck!!!! It actually is a disease of younger dogs. Not related to aging. She has bad arthritis in one hip from it. Definitely get it checked out. There are lots of medical and surgical avenues to pursue with this. Young dogs have great success with surgery. It's become quite a "routine" procedure, says my vet. (Well, routine for HIM!!) I'm trying to say that the surgical correction is done quite frequently now with great success. A lot of the medications available and physical therapy are also alternative routes. The move has probably been quite stressful to Montana, especially considering her previous horrible experience. Sounds like she's coming around though. Give her a little time and I'm sure she'll be assured you're all in it together!! Good Luck! Your kids are so beautiful!!! Hugs to all.
