Medical Conditions & Diseases / HD?

Well, just got back from the Vet. Kodi has been having some pain the past couple of days. after he has been laying down for a while, when he goes to get up he cries quite a bit and also cries during the first 5-10 steps he takes. He was reluctant to climb the stairs to get back into the house after going to the bathroom plus just him not acting like himself lately. My fiancee was getting worried over Kodi's crying and got him an appointment this morning. The Vet examined Kodi's legs and joints. They tested him for Lyme disease, which is quite common in our area, and can cause joint pain, but he was negative for that. The vet said that he is concerned about and wants to do x-ray's tomorrow morning to check for HD. He's 19 months old, at a perfect weight according to the Vet. I know there's a ton of posts on here regarding HD, and i've been doing some research here at work about it too. Just looking for any advice from those of you who have had to deal with this. Hopefully the x-rays come back clean, but i have a bad feeling that they wont.
