Dear Little moor's mom:
If you think something wrong on little moor's left leg, please bring him to see Dr. Tsai as soon as possible. I can't tell you if there is any thing wrong on his left hip without seeing the update x-ray. There are more than just one joint on animal's body. Any place(joint) can get hurt/trauma even it is normal if it is overuse or wrong way of use. Once dog recovered from THR surgery, there is no restrict exercise on this leg. If the other leg (or joints) has problems, then we have to protect this(these) joint(s) for further damage. I still recommend you do not let Little moor over exercise because of the other hip already has sign of CHD problem. The dose for Cosequin should be 2 tablets daily for his body weight.
If you still have any questions please let me know.
Dr. Lee
