My 4-year-old Lab has hip pain, but I see no injury. What's wrong?

Question

I have a lab that is 4 years old and seems to be having pain in his left hip. I have not seen any injury happen and have not seen any falls. He is an inside dog so I know he has not been hit by anything or attacked by another animal. What could be causing his pian.

It is most likely caused by arthritis (inflammation of the joints), which is quite common in large breed. you will need to take Bolt to the vet to get it confirmed (usually xray needed), then the vet will discuss with your regarding treatment options.
