I have a 4.5-month-old Golden Retriever from the Philippines, who has had a limp since she was 3 months old. There was also swelling between one of her toes on her left rear foot, which has mostly gone down but the limp persists, and her foot is slightly pointed outwards when she runs. The vet initially thought it could be hip-related but now plans to take x-rays to check for a foreign object and may need to cut the foot open if nothing is found. I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible. What could be causing this issue?
