Today after my 6 month old rottweilers walk I noticed that she was moving her hips a lot and does not want to put a lot of weight on her right rear leg.
She is not limping but it looks like it is discomforting for her. The signs are similar to hip dysplasia however it came very suddenly after some rough play otuside and i suspect she might have sprained something. I have checked her feet for cuts and there was nothing.
She is a very small, lean rottweiler girl so I doubt it would be HD. She looks almost exactly like the one in the pic.
What do you reckon it is? She has never shown any signs of HD until this day AFTER chasing the ball and falling over quite a few times.
Since then she sits a bit like a frog, sways her hips a bit and only lays down on one side. She is also refusing to jump around and play tug of war which she loves.
Thoughts?

Update: After a 2h rest she seems to be playful again and not moving her rear as much.

It might be a sprain. There isn't necessarily any outwards signs of a sprain except the dog won't want to put any weight on that leg. Book a vet appointment and put the little girl on strict bed rest until you see the vet.

Got a 5 month Rottie and just went through this.. Vet trip was 50$ and well worth it.. Kinda early for HD to develop and the waddle sounds normal but a vet trip is a must
