I have a 2 year old blue heeler and she has had some hip problems since she was young, could this be from the way her tail was docked?..Can you suggest something i can give her or do to help this problem. Such a shame for such a young dog. I don't think veterinary can do much for her but i don't really want to have her euthanized. We are seniors and on limited funds but i will do what i can to help her and i don't want her suffering with constant pain.
