Anyone ever own a Golden Retriever???
Slappy, the hip issues usually don't show until about 6 months of age. Only real confirmation would be an xray once the pup is older. Hopefully your pup will be fine.
We have ours on meds so she can deal with the pain. We brought her in to be assessed for joint replacement, but she wasn't a candidate at the time. She still is a sweetheart and gets around fine considering. She is the best dog I have ever had.
