Hip dysplasia can be common in medium sized dogs. The best way to know if Cookie has hip dysplasia is to take her into the vet. The vet can do a series of x-rays to diagnose it, and can discuss treatment options with you if she has it. There are ways to manage it medically and with physical therapy, and surgery may be an option for her as well.
