Dog / Labrador Retrievers - Answered 1375 days ago
My dog had weak joints in his hind legs when he was a puppy, but has grown bigger and started running around and climbing up and down the stairs. He loves to play around and wrestle with my other dogs. However, he sometimes yowls and drags his front leg - it often points in a weird direction so I suspect dislocation, but it fixes itself after a while. I can hear his joints click when I pick him up after these incidents. Do you think this problem will go away as he grows, just as it was with his hind legs?

It's likely that your dog has hip dysplasia, I'd simply advice that you go to see your vet as soon as possible. This isn't to ascertain that your dog isn't fine...it might be alright. But it's rather important to get to your vet. He probably might place your pet on some feeding patterns, I'm sure your pet would be fine
