What does the hip ratio on an German Shepard dog mean?
Most of the time it means if a dog will have hip displaysia. There are test that you can get done called OFA and pinned hips. And the results some back in as Excellent, good, fair and poor those would be the rateings with Excellent being a dog that is less likely to have hip problems such as displaysia. So you wouldn't want to breed a dog that has fair hips to a dog that has fair hips as it is more likely the puppies will have hip problems.

The best thing to do for your dog is to take him or her in to be checked out by a Veterinarian to make sure that is all it is, a bruised hip. There are so many other things it could be such as a wound or an abscess, hip displaysia, bad back, etc. etc. You could give some baby aspirin until you see the Veterinarian but don't give any aspirin on the day of your dog's appointment with the Vet so that the Vet can see all the symptoms that your dog is showing. Check the area over thoroughly for any wounds or abscesses too.
