If your Pug has hip problems, you might notice some changes in how they move or behave. Look out for signs like difficulty getting up or lying down, stiffness after resting, a noticeable limp, or an unusual gait. They might also seem hesitant to jump onto furniture or climb stairs like they used to. Some Pugs might show discomfort if you touch their hips or lower back, or they may start avoiding physical activities they usually enjoy.
If you notice these signs, it’s best to have your vet check them out. They can do an exam and possibly take X-rays to figure out what’s going on and recommend treatment to keep your Pug comfortable.
