A dislocated (or luxated) hip occurs when the ball part of the joint comes out of the socket.

Dogs and cats with a dislocated hip can't bear weight on their back leg, and the affected leg may appear shorter than the others.

Dislocated hips in pets are extremely painful and should be tended to as quickly as possible.
