As your German Shepherd enters its golden years, you may notice some changes in its mobility. His once-sprightly steps may now be slightly slower, and he may have difficulty getting up after lying down. These are common signs of hip dysplasia, a congenital, degenerative joint disease that can cause significant pain and discomfort as your fur friend ages. Although hip dysplasia is one of the most common afflictions in older German Shepherds, there is no cure for it, but treatments are available to help manage the condition and improve your fur friend's quality of life.
In this podcast, we'll cover what you should know about hip dysplasia in senior German Shepherds.
