Hi all,

As I mentioned in another thread, my 5 month old (55lb) GSD has a limp when running. When she runs she'll limp, and the leg will also point outwards a bit.

The doc could not tell much from the X Rays, so he sent them to a local specialist, and the specialist suspects it's hip dysplasia. Here are the X Rays the doc sent over:

The limp is on the hind left leg, although the doc said the suspected hip dysplasia is on the right side.

He's suggesting another round of X Rays in 2-3 months, and anti-inflammatory pain killers whenever she will be getting exercise.

Any advice/suggestions would be very welcome. Fingers crossed it's just part bone development as she's growing up.
