Help...baby Willow may have a hip problem

Willow had her 2nd puppy shot Friday. I asked the vet to check her hips as she has yelped a few times when our shih tzu has bumped into her back end. She told us that she felt a slight click in her right hip. She said her left hip felt fine. Someone please help me...tell me she is going to be ok. I am just beside myself. I am waiting for a call about the referral to the ortho-vet. Our vet said if there is a problem, there is a procedure that has to be done before 12 weeks old. Willow turned 10 weeks old yesterday. I left a message for her breeder but have not heard back from her. I just feel sick to my stomach! We are so in love with this puppy that giving her back is not an option.
Lisa, mom to 5 human kiddos, a shih tzu and the most adorable sheepie pup in the mtns!!!

oh Lisa I am so sorry....Hopefully, your breeder will call you and be able to help you and support you in all of this. I am sorry I can't give you any information, I am sure there are many forum members who will chime in..... :ghug: :ghug:

Please give little Willow a gentle sheepie KiSS :kiss: from Heart!!!!
Lisa, I feel your pain. Maggie was diagnosed with hip dyplasia at 8 months. It is devastating. You have many options though. We are currently being conservative and using supplements and gentle exercise to build up Maggie's back side. Just take a deep breath and do a little research so that you go in prepared. Write down all the questions you have and don't be shy in being an advocate for your baby. Hugs to you!
