This is how she is currently walking.

When you do a video again, I'd try to do it from ground level. The upward angle doesn't give the best look at it.

Well I am waiting at the vet for her. Looks like its going to be around 400$ to put her under, take X-rays of both hips and knees and if she needs meds...

So we just got home... 380$ later... She said one of her hips is not as tight in the socet as the other but it may not even qualify for HD, it's not even the leg that is bothering her, her knees are fine... They said its likely a soft tissue injury that keeps getting irritated from strenuous activity and I need to try to keep her from running around. They gave me a short prescription of anti-inflammatory to see if it helps... Here is this bill...

Sometimes when another leg hurts or is uncomfortable to walk on they will modify their gait and over compensate with the other, causing that one to incur soft tissue damage.

Yea, she's going to have the x ray tech look at them this week.

Fingers crossed the anti-inflammatories work for her.

kinda looks like she got some swagg in her step

It's been a few days and she's driving me a little crazy, she wants to run around but I don't want to do anything crazy like take her out on the bike. If its a soft tissue injury and I don't want to upset it again, would swimming be ok for some exercise?

i have heard swimming is a great exercise for things like that. i just just watch how much and how long she goes, maybe ask your vet first?

I would think swimming would be ok. Maybe call your vet to be safe.

I presume swimming would be ok for it. It's not weigh baring and shouldnt cause straine one the injury.
I'd just keep an eye on her, make sure she doesnt do it for too long.

They just called me actually informing me the radiologist looked at her X-rays and said her hips and knees are fine and it is officially assumed to be a soft tissue injury.

Thats great news.
Did you ask about the swimming?

I was at work I'll need to call them tomorrow and ask about that.

Have you got toys and chews to keep her mentally stimulated until you can take her to burn off her pent up energy physically?

Doggy Yoga?

I'm not kidding it really exists.
