Frenchies’ ball and socket joints can grow unevenly, leading to looseness that causes difficulty walking, pain, and even immobility.
• Limping or Lameness: Look out for your Frenchie limping or favoring one leg over the other, particularly after exercise or when they get up from resting.
• Difficulty Moving: If your Frenchie struggles to get up, climb stairs, jump, or seems generally less active, it could be a sign of joint pain associated with dysplasia.
• Pain Reaction: Your Frenchie may show discomfort or yelp when their hips or elbows are touched, or when moving in certain ways.
