I adopted Noah in November when he was just a tiny little guy. He was abandoned so he had some health issues that we've since fixed, but he has a limp. He favors one of his hind legs and almost has a pimp walk. It doesn't seem to hurt him but I'm worried it might start to hurt him as he grows. Any ideas to what might be wrong with his back leg or hip? Could he have been injured and whoever abandoned him didn't bother to fix it???

Hello mrrnda, have you notice this before or it just happened?
In the video he don't seem to show any pain as he is still running and playing.

If you are concerned, which I think you should be, bring him in to the vet for a check. It could anything but prolong stress of an unsure injury does not seems good. Show the video to the vet and get it check and have peace of mind.

Keep us updated please ;)

We noticed it the day we brought him home. The vet doesn't seem concerned but checks it every time we're there. I'm just not sure if theres something wrong with it or if it was broken once before. It could be anything because he was born to feral and then some mean human put him and his three brothers in a bag (they all had ringworm and/or upper respiratory infections and one of them had a mass on his head) and left them somewhere to be found

Most proably he was injured when or just after he was born. But since the vet has no immediate concern and he dosen't scream or cry in pain while walking or running, just keep an eye on it.
