  1. Golden Retriever Health, Anatomy & Breed Standard
    Hi, This may be kind of long, but I desperately need some clarity on what to do in this situation. I have a 2 year 8 month old female golden retriever. She is my service dog for psychiatric and medical purposes, and does not do anything weight bearing. I worked with a certain service dog...
  2. Golden Retriever Health, Anatomy & Breed Standard
    Hi everyone! Happy New Years! I’ve been watching my golden for some time and I’ve noticed that he sits/lays like this occasionally. He’s done this since he was a pup. He is now one years old and although he hasn’t displayed any signs of discomfort when moving from sitting to standing position, I...

  4. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Full disclaimer, I have health anxiety and often get paranoid. So I am not sure if I am looking too much into things or if this is normal behaviour for a puppy. I am also a bit paranoid because my parents' lab (who I helped raise until I moved out when he was 1 year old) has elbow dysplasia and...

    Hi all! A few days ago, my 9 month old golden was playing fetch and out of nowhere started running with both back legs at the same time. While playing fetch he and another dog collided pretty hard and both went tumbling but got right back up and started playing again. I didn't notice if the...

    Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I was hoping to get more clarity on my current situation with our boy Charlie. I got Charlie at 8 weeks old and noticed he had a bit of a funny walk. We assumed nothing was seriously wrong as he had been seen by vets for vaccinations who didn’t...

    Hi guys, I've tried to thoroughly search this site for an answer to my question, but most threads I've found on TPO seem to be 7-8 years old. Though this could be user error in my search. I'll try to keep this short while still giving pertinent details. Theo is almost 9 months old, he was...
  8. Golden Retriever Health, Anatomy & Breed Standard
    Hello all! I've been nonstop researching this online since my vet mentioned the awkward stance of my pup yesterday, but I thought I'd come to you for a bit of knowledge/insight. She said we should keep an eye on the way he's sitting and had a pretty worried look on her face, but kind of brushed...

    I write this with a heavy heart. My puppy who just turned 7 months has been diagnosed with severe Hip Dysplasia. He was doing just fine. After a run over the weekend, we noticed that he was walking ever so slightly funny. It seemed like he was trying to not put weight on his right rear leg. The...

    This is Boone, my 4-year old male Golden Retriever. Here are videos of him walking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yEeQgon--Y and https://vimeo.com/115754816 As you can see his butt/hips sway sideways as he is walking. It's probably just because he has less fur on him, but I am sometimes...
  11. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    After getting Sebastian's diagnosis of the severe hip dysplasia at 7 months old last week, he's gotten worse. He is no longer allowed to play with his buddy because they play rough and run. Something as simple as them tumbling will knock the joint out and he can't walk on the leg. The vet...
  12. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi Everyone:wave: (just recently joined and this is my 1st post so please bare with me) Does anyone here have any experience or input on JPS (Juvenile Pubic Symphysiodesis surgery) after PENN Hip DI (distractive index) results? Our new puppy, Polar Bear (now just shy of 6 months old), had his...
  13. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Last week I took Cooper to get his third set of puppy vaccinations, and the vet did a fairly thorough check on him to make sure everything was going OK. She noticed that his right hip felt loose, and proceeded to tell me that we will see what it's like at his 4 month visit, and from there we can...
  14. Golden Retrievers Main Discussion
    I am wondering what the benefits are to getting my 2 year old golden xrayed and evaluated for hip dysplasia. Daisy runs and jumps just fine but when she walks her back end really sways. The vet thinks she might have hip dysplasia. Just in case, I bought insurance a few months ago that would...

    Hi guys, I'd like to know if you use wellness plans and if so, which one you recommend. Meg is 10mths old with hip dysplasia :( Not sure if there are any wellness plans covering ortopedic trestment though. Any thoughts?
  16. Golden Retriever Health, Anatomy & Breed Standard
    I have a friend who recently heard of hip dysplasia in golden retrievers. They have a 4 or 5 year old golden retriever (rescue so just an approximate age), and have had several golden mixes before. This is their first purebred dog. They were wondering when HD normally shows up. Their golden is...

    :wave: Hi everyone! New to the site :) Just wanted to share a couple videos of one of my boys. Chance is a 6 & 1/2 month old Golden. He has a brother named Marley. Chance was recently diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia. He has already had 1 of 2 operations; a triple pelivc osteotomy. His next...

    Hey all, My sister got terrible news last night about her GSD. He was having pain in his elbow and it wasn't getting it better so they had xrays done. They decided to xray his hips while they were at it just to be sure everything was good there. He is 1 year, 10 months old...still a baby! His...
  19. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    I'm wondering at what point can I take my golden running with me? He is about 3-4 months old right now (adopted from a shelter so actual age is unknown!) and he looooves to go on short walks/runs around our block. He isn't tired by the time we get home and still wants to run and play. I'm...
