Chihuahuas Hip Pain Information

Chihuahuas have become a favorite pet for people to love and adore. However, chihuahuas may suffer from hip pain.

Hip Dysplasia

Pain in the hip can be caused by hip dysplasia. Some chihuahuas are born with hip dysplasia which can cause pain for your pet.

Time Frame

Chihuahuas may be born with hip pain, but some begin showing signs of pain by one year of age.

Wear and Tear

If no symptoms arise early on, wear and tear on your dog's bone may cause hip pain later in life.

X-Rays

If you are concerned about your chihuahua's joints, get your vet to take an x-ray.

Ways to Help Your Pet

You can make your chihuahua more comfortable by keeping her weight down and using an anti-inflammatory medication.
