Hi there,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I have a six month old purebred Newfoundland puppy. Just the other day I noticed when he was walking that I could feel his left hip either cracking or popping when he walked. I have never seen any signs of lameness, pain or limping (only the occasional slowness/ limp for a minute or so after he got up from a long sleep).
We have never overexercised him, and have been supplementing glucosamine chondrition since he was 8 weeks old. I am now really concerned that this is hip dysplasia and he could be experiencing pain and discomfort, and I want an expert opinion.
Can anyone recommend a vet in the Gold Coast (preferably) or Brisbane region?
Thank you!
