Hi
Although Lady had a vet check yesterday, and I had some concerns re. possible hip problems .... not because she had been showing signs, just I had been advised that GSDs do tend to suffer in old age.
Anyhow, the vet checked her and said she is fine. He wriggled and pulled her back legs around and found no signs of discomfort or any problems.
BUT
Today, just now, I took Lady on her usual walk, and throughout the 30 min walk, her right back leg gave way about 5 times ...... so now I am thinking, oh no she has a dodgy back leg?! The back leg only gave way for literally a second, as then she corrected her step and then carried on walking fine until the next time.
Do you have any advice to give please? Does this sound like she has a problem with her hips?
Her previous owners wrote a short letter and did not mention anything, and her previous vets notes don't show anything about possible problem, and today is the first day she has done it with me.
