* Pain: Your dog may yelp or cry out when you touch their hip or leg. They may also limp or hold their leg up off the ground.
* Swelling: The hip area may be swollen and warm to the touch.
* Bruising: There may be bruising around the hip area.
* Difficulty walking: Your dog may have difficulty walking or moving their leg. They may walk with a limp or they may not be able to put their weight on their leg at all.
* Abnormal hip position: The hip may appear to be out of place or rotated in an unusual way.
* Leg length difference: The affected leg may appear shorter than the other leg.
If you think your dog may have a dislocated hip, it is important to take them to the vet immediately. Hip dislocations can be serious and may require surgery to correct.
