This is especially important if your dog has clinical signs of hip dysplasia like reluctance to jump, bunny hopping gait behind at speed (both hind
legs moving forward together), soreness or stiffness after exercise, a «wobbly» hind limb gait,
poor muscle mass
development behind compared to its forequarter, difficulty getting up, placing extra body weight on its fore limbs with a hunched back, a clicking sound when it walks, or reluctance to allow you to pet near its hips.
