Hey… can hip dysplasia be diagnosed in 40 day old puppy of golden ?? N how
Dr. Supriya
Hi Priya, 40days is too early to confirm hip dysplasia. We have to wait until 6months to confirm it as hip dysplasia
Dr. Supriya
Observe the signs like difficulty in climbing steps, sitting in frog posture, pain after long walks etc.

Hey Dr Supriya. My pup has little difficulty in walking from left leg. Can it be because of tiles of house or he is way too young.

Priya
And can we allow climbing stairs in 40-50 day pup ?
Dr. Supriya
Hi Priya, it might due to smooth surfaces and cold. But it is better start with a calcium supplement for him. If he is feeling difficultly in walking I wouldn't recommend to allow him to climb stairs otherwise not a problem.

Procal should be given before or after food ?

N thank you so much Dr Supriya for ur help. I am myself a doctor. I thought ortolani test might help as it is done in babies. I guess I will allow him to settle for a week or so
Dr. Supriya
I understand your concern Priya, start with supplement and make him walk on rough surfaces atleast for an hour every day. If there is no improvement we can schedule a physical examination.
Dr. Supriya
Procal can be given along with food or after food.
