Have a 5 year old German Shep that was diagnosed with slight hip dysplasia when he was around one. His toe nails on his right rear paw kept wearing down rapidly and I was stumped, so took him in and had him x-rayed. Right hip is slightly out of whack. Of course his parents were both supposed to be hip certified and signed off by a vet or whoever does it.
Anyway vet said he could be fine for the rest of his life or could need a new hip in a few years. He runs like the wind and plays really hard chasing critters so I just keep letting him be a dog and enjoying his life. The vet did recommended keeping him light to reduce stress on his joints. I keep him around 85 pounds when he could easily be 95 - 100. He looks fit and not skinny or malnourished.
Also give him a Dasuquin tablet every day for his joints.
