Hi! I think your question might have been cut off. Sounds like Balla is having some age related problems. I'm glad to hear he is still eating, and seems happy! Your vet could like prescribe something for his hips, and take a look at the growth, to see if is likely cancerous or not. They will be able to give you an idea of what to expect in the next few months. Hope he feels better soon!.
