I have a two year old with a swollen hip and I don't know what to do about it. I noticed her hip sticking out a little bit a few days ago but thought maybe I was imagining it because just because she's "pasture fat", not "show fat". She's on pasture, walking fine and acting normal. She's really quiet so I poked around and you can feel that there's some fluid in it but it didn't bother her that I was touching it. Because she's in no pain and not going to be shown this year I haven't taken her to the vet but maybe I should? Has anyone seen this before? Maybe it's more common that I think. Thanks in advance.
