∙ 12y agoThe top (back) of my dogs rear quarters (both sides of hip), yellow lab - 7 years old, are swollen and he is having a great deal of difficulty getting up and also up and down steps - he has also become lethargic and does not want to move about like he normally does. He had Lyme disease several months ago but was fine after being treated with antibiotics - could it have returned? He seems to be in pain although he doesn't whimper or whine - he never has whenever he was in pain though. I plan to take him to the vet in the morning but concerned and would like your opinion based on my brief description.
