hip dysplsia is heart breaking, to see a dog in pain.
my 7 year old black labrador had a severe case of it where she could barely stand up let alone walk, it got so bad we had to put her down because she was in so much pain.
as its genetic i can't bare to think about it happening to our puppies aswell. :(
Zumie, wanted to thank you for your posting of Gary. I'm just sitting here weeping and heart broken for you. I've had Rotties for 25 yrs now. My 6th, Daktyl just got out of the vet today. Tomorrow we go back for x-rays. He's 3 1/2. Has the frog sit. And once a month or so, he doesn't want to move, or put his right rear leg down. I learned alot from you pics/videos. Thanks again.
@surleyguru I totally agree, he came from a puppy mill. He died of kidney failure only 2 years later...also poor genetics I am thinking. RIP Gary boy.
30% of the large to medium breeded dogs have hip dysplasia.. due to genetics, exercise and food it can become worser and worser.. need more inf? mail me.
I get so pissed knowing that a lot of breeders breed on dogs with somewhat ugly looking hips, because the dogs LOOK good.
There's no beauty like the beauty of a healthy, sound dog that can move without problems and lives to be old and healthy throughout their lives....THAT'S what breeders should be focused on....
i acually have hip dysplasia (yes, i am a human) and I would by all means say to make sure if you find out you dog has it to fix it (with surgery of course) because it is extremelyyyyy painful. I'm having an operation done in february...
@machoburgers i had the operation march 7th (they had to cancel my february surgery date) it went well and it was definately worth it. The pain after the first 2-3 weeks is barely there but you have to stay on crutches for about 3 months. im going to start slowly getting off the crutches in about a week so thats exciting. . the onyl part that really sucks is the scar, but since it's on my hip it really isn't visible :)
@cpfanrox Wow. Im glad to hear it went well :) U must be really excited. Take it slow :). Maybe after a few months, you can have the scar removed by a dermatologist. Wish you all the best!
@machoburgers they can actually remove a scar? i didnt know that :P i have to get the screws out so I won't remove it until after they finshed that obviously.
i am 15 yrs old and i have a brown lab that has a hip dysplasia an in tha summer it doesnt really hurt her but in the winter it does is there any way to fix her hips if so inbox me plzz thnxx
Oh what a shame. Other than the dysplasia, this dog is absolutely beautiful. Beautiful shape and markings. I have a GSD but I also love the Rottie. They're a fantastic breed. Whatever you do, you must ALWAYS keep this dog slim. It will help a great deal.
poor guy :( My girl, Daisy, has no hip sockets. We found that out with xrays taken when she was prepped for knee surgery at 2yrs old. The other knee went 3 months later. She is a mess, and it's so sad because she has so much energy... I blame it on the rottie craze of the 80s. Those backyard breeders really messed up their health. Daisy was adopted from the Geauga Humane Society in Ohio.
This video is testament to why it is so important to buy a purebred from a reputable breeder that does genetic health testing. That way they can actually GUARANTEE the health of your animal.
omfg my dog has this fuuuuuuuuuck.... he just frog sits and has barley any trouble gettin up but he can run and jump and jump up on his hind legs hes fast as fuck and when he fights with my other dog he doesnt seem to be affected by it should i be worried thx
@yetipoop I would only be worried about it if your dog is bothered by it. If Gary had not been limping, whining, or slowing down, I would not have got the surgery. But since his symptoms were severe, he needed it. Not all dogs with hip dysplasia necessarily need surgery. Just glucosamine supplements, k9 aspirin, a holistic diet, and non-strenuous exercise is perfect for most.

@yetipoop hi. you commented a year ago, about your dog having hip dysplasia? How is the dog? Was it really hip dysplasia? just curious. because I think my puppy has it too....
Im sorry Zumi is in so much pain, such a sad site to see. I hope you can afford the stem cell therapy it seems to work. My Rottie is 8 1/2 and she has it too, she had it since i adopted her from rottie rescue when she was 3 yrs old.. Im going to try this stem cell therapy, my vet does it here in San Diego.. I sure hope it works.. nothing else has so far... God Bless Zumi
My Rottie has identical hip problems, as well as hock, ankle and foot deformities. At 4 months he had a very poor prognosis. After months of a home-cooked diet, physio, hydro and painkillers, he did very well. He is now 2, has not been on painkillers for over 12 months and is happy pain-free and active, still has hydro every 2 weeks. He will eventually need surgery though....which I'm dreading....how did your dog cope with it all?
Zumie, I'm quite sorry your dog had to go through that. Hip dysplasia is a really unpredictable disease that even checked parents and grandparents cannot guarantee you a totally free doggy. I'm hoping your baby is fine after surgery. I'm kind of looking around because I suspect my female aussie might have something like this.. It would be really helpful if you could tell me when this lameness of the rear end started?
@sarahn2k7 hip dysplasia is not normal to dogs nor is limping to us humans and animals alike. I am a vet and if you want further information on hip dysplasia and other dog arthritis issues, try checking my blog at dogarthritisblog.info
well i am having a pug he is 6 months old facing the same problem really very deeep that he cant even walk but he is gettin so much of love n he is happy dog...so sad 2 say that no surgury can be done at any cost
what happens when you breed a female german shep with moderate hip dys to a male that has normal hips? I found a breeder and they mated those 2 dogs together. Should I not buy from them?
hey,this is terrible,i feel sorry for you and your dog, is it all right yet?how has he been doing?i've got german sheperd and my mother and father have got a bernese mountain dog and she(it's a girl) has been operated with her shoulder because of osteochondrosis...hope Gary's doing well:)
i have a 6 months root weiller and have a bad hyp dysplaia my questions is its really surgery works and how much cost you and what time have the dog when you do the surgery
Surgery is a couple thousand. If your dog is worth it to you, go for it because yes it really does help. Many people opt to put their dogs to sleep because the surgery is very expensive, traumatic (the dog won't know what happened or why, they get depressed), and has a very long recovery time.
I am sorry...couple thousand?really?I wrote you a comment about our bern.mountain dog, who has been operated with her shoulder and osteochondosis in my country-Czech Republic and it cost about 500 dollars... the biggest problem is to get the money, and then about 6-8weeks to recover:(
how much does it cost to get the hips xrayed? a doctor told me it would run be around 300 bucks, without anesthesia (in case it's needed for an active dog). does this video show the problem before surgery?
Yes this is 2 - 3 months before he got surgery. 300 sounds about right for xrays at your regular vet. Mine sedated him slightly but he wasn't fully under. They kept him about 6 hours because of the sedation. If you go to an orthopedic vet you can expect the price to skyrocket....but they are better trained in what to look for. My regular vet never saw anything wrong with his elbows, but he in fact had problems when the ortho vet x-rayed him. His hips were obviously bad in x-rays to any vet
A lot actually. It was hard the first 4 months. 2 weeks of bed rest, only getting up for going potty. He lost a lot of weight. Got down to 70lbs at one point...for a rottie that is real skinny. His chest and back legs were depleted of muscle and he looked horrible and at one point I thought it wasn't worth it all. Now he is 18 months old, slowly filling back out and is currently at 90 lbs and he can run jump and scratch his head now :) Worth it in the long run although it was hard.
:'( Just found out my German shep has 3rd degree Dysplasia.. i really think of nothing but how much he would suffer to his death!!!

Im very concerned my 13 yr old rat terrier has this.
Past ffew years she might have gotten a bit overweight but she is very muscular for a rat terrier. She was the runt lol.
I think her joints are getting worse and worse. Thinking about when I have to put her down = (
