Got him looked at by my normal vet this morning. Good and bad news. He believes that the hips were already displaced and thinks that he has hip displaysia. In his opinion getting hit with the truck just did soft tissue damage and he said that looking at the X-rays popping them in won’t do any good as they’d just come back out. Only other option would be extremely costly surgery that would prevent him from hunting again.

The decision was made to keep him put up for around 6 months with hopes that his soft tissue can fully heal and he may recover to what was normal for him, even if the hips were already out of place. He’s been doing great, so I am leaning towards breeding him once he heals up some and then just watching and culling puppies carefully in an attempt to get rid of any hip displaysia in the genetics
