The words hip dysplasia do not describe everything about a dog’s daily experience. A rehabilitation discussion also needs their history, current assessment, familiar activities and the questions you bring from home.
You can help by describing a specific moment rather than trying to interpret it. “They pause before getting into the car” gives the team something concrete to explore without asking you to decide the cause.
