    Is my puppy growing too fast? 0.5kg in 2 days! Also, signs of hip dysplasia?

    @rawrhaxx Thank you for the perspective! As for join supplements, is it harmful if she does not have the genes for hip dysplasia? Wouldn't supplements make her bones grow even faster?

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Thanks for the info! I totally didn't know about the grain part. We live in Germany and I got her from the countryside where I was told that her dad is the neighbor dog haha. I don't think the family are breeders so I think they don't have their dogs tested before. Just...

    @valleygal Thanks for the update! I will do that for the next visit. Thankfully, Bloo doesn't sway like how you described, but I'll keep an eye out to see if anything changes.

    @valleygal Oh no! Sorry to hear about that. May I ask how much swaying was enough of a sign? I can't tell if it's just normal movement swaying or hip problem swaying. And did he always sway when walking or just sometimes?

    @basilcrow Thanks!! I think Bloo is between 3 and 4 before eating and 5 with a full tummy :)

    @yangum Thanks for the advice! The only times we are near stairs are when we go into the train station and she seems very enthusiastic about climbing them so that's a good sign. I haven't noticed her stretch at all when she wakes up, but I keep a close watch on her.

    @matthewzenz Wow, that's incredible! I have also noticed a daily difference even without weighing my pup. Her tail is getting floofier and her paws are getting bigger too!

    @maikwilliams Thank you! I'll ask the vet about it the next time we visit. I think she runs normally but I haven't looked closely yet since I only read about the bunny hop symptom today.

    @theonewhojesusloves Thanks for the advice! I don't think the bag says how many calories but I'll look again. Everything is in German (we live in Germany) so I might have missed it!

    @tonylevire Thank you. My puppy would be considered just right under this criteria. Although her 'fat' is really thick skin. She has quite a small waist before she eats and she looks fat after she eats

    Is my puppy growing too fast? 0.5kg in 2 days! Also, signs of hip dysplasia?

    @vf6cruiser Thank you for the reply! I have another question. The measuring scale I ordered just arrived and I measured the food I'm giving her...and it's half the amount recommended in the back of the bag. For her age and weight, she should have 4 cups of food, not 2 cups. D: Should I be...

    Hi, everyone! I have a puppy named Bloo. She is a 14 week old labrador/aussie/GSD mix. I feed her 2.5 cups of Eukanuba Puppy Food for Large Breeds per day and one horse scalp chew stick. She gets at least a 15-20 minute walk per day and about half an hour of off-leash playing in the fields...
