My boy Bronx - 5 years old - has had audible popping in his right leg (think hip) for the last few days. Pretty loud with an intermittent mild limp. Otherwise normal - runs outside to lay in the sun, etc. Has anybody experienced this with their bulldog? What was the outcome?
Vet did physical exam yesterday and knee felt “crunchy” but hips felt “good”. Did x rays and sedated physical exam today. Said hips don’t look too bad on x ray - not perfect but not bad. But Physical exam under sedation mimicking weight bearing load both hips managed to luxate. Vet said both knees also looked like they had ACL tears.
Referring to ortho surgeon for consult, but said probably needs both knees and both hips. Ugh. For real? We went in with primary concern being the popping. I’m crushed that he would have to go through all of that. I’m hoping surgeon has a different opinion.
