My new 3 month old puppy (siberian husky mix) that I adopted from the shelter had his first exam yesterday and the vet believes that he has the early signs of hip dysplasia.
Anyway, we noticed that he was very skittish and when my husband would try to play with him, he would accidently startle him and he would pee all over himself. We (the vet, myself, and my husband) came to the conclusion that his previous owners had beat him because he did his puppy thing and peed in their house and chewed their things.
We're going back in three weeks to finish up his series of shots and to get an x-ray on his hind leg to make sure that it is hip dysplasia and not a deep bone bruise.
Now, what I want to know is if any one's dog has this and what you did to correct it? Which surgery did your dog get?How successful was it? Is there anything else I should look for besides the way he sits, walks, runs, plays?
ANY stories, personal experiences would help.
Thank you guys very much!
