I have a few questions, all which lead me to worring about my gal and make me nervous.
The other day we were out playing and her hips started popping. For a few mintues straight they made the popping noise
Is that a sign of HD?
Then I noticed that her "gait" isn't really all that flowing. It's a bit short/choppy. And I swear she looked lame in the hind end yesturday. Can that be a sign of HD?
And I do catch her bunny hopping when she does run. I hear that that's a sign of HD right?
And then I've noticed that she is a bit wobbly in the hind. I've noticed it more and more and more. It's really noticable. I've watched my aunts dogs hind's when they walked to see if they did the same thing...nope...is the wollyness a sign of HD?
Here's her first x-ray

I'm taking her in again around July to get her hips and elbows x-rayed and then having the vet send those x-rays in. I'll get a copy of them to post here and to look at.
