QuestionMy german shepherd/ golden retriever mix was just at the vet 3 weeks ago for a small problem. She was checked when she was a puppy and they said she has the probability of hip dysplasia. She is 4 yrs. and runs and plays soccer and has always checked out healthy. Two days ago she started having problems getting up. She gets up and then she's fine. I had just started her on the Glyco-flex recently. I don't know if she pulled something or what. Will take her to vet Tuesday if not better. Her right hip feels like a thin muscle running vertically down toward her leg or something is split a little bit. Actually, when you look at it, it looks like it sticks out a bit. Hip dysplasia doesn't hit all of a sudden like that does it? I panic if something happens to her so thought maybe writing email might give me some kind of idea.
