Sensitive Hips??

[tanksmommy]

I have another question about Tank. He is 6 1/2 months old now; a coupla months ago in the mornings he would act really stiff and would 'stumble' around when trying to walk. Sometimes it took all he could do to just walk up/down 2 steps to go outside. It seemed like he was having problems with his back legs or his hips. He would be really sensitive around that area and would sometimes yelp when playing.(He wouldn't really run, either...)

Now a coupla months later, he plays really well, he runs really good, but occasionally he'll let out a little 'yelp' whenever he rolls over too hard or when he's playing. Any idea to what could be causing him pain??

Has he been examined by a vet? Had x-rays? Any history of injury? It's impossible to tell what might be wrong with him without more information - which information you should give to vet and have him examine the dog.
