Does my dog have a problem?

Question

hes a 3 month old golden retriever. Ive noticed that when he walks his hind legs make some kinda popping noise. he runs and walks fine, so i was wondering if there might be something wrong in the future of if its normal?

Answer 1

No, doesn't seem to be much of a problem. If he starts to limp or act strangley take him to a vet. But I honestly think he is fine.  

Answer 2

Big dogs like retrievers can get hip problems when they get bigger. Just take him to a vet to have them check for hip problems.  

Answer 3

ask your vet, it can be something a little more worse, but just to be on the safe side. otherwise, if your vet makes you pay for a visit, make sure there are no bumps around the hind legs, and also you want to keep an eye on his behavior, if he starts to be really fatigued, and lazy, i would take him in hands down. It can be a start to anything, and also it could be nothing. rather be on the safe side of course.

hope this helps!

Answer 4

Golden's are known for hip problems, so in your case- as others have said before me- see your vet as soon as you can. Catching something this early can only help your dog. Even though he's young and still growing, it could turn into something worse later on. On the other hand, he might just outgrow it as he gets bigger.

Better safe than sorry =]

Answer 5

I don't deal as much with bigger dogs, but I do think there could possibly be something wrong with him. I suggest getting him to a vet and having it looked at. There may have to be some x-rays done which can be costly, but your pup's health is worth it!

Good luck!

Answer 6

i would recommend seeing a vet, to make sure everythings ok. but it might just be the way his foot is because some peoples feet do that  

Answer 7

Ask the vet. But I think he is okay.
