How to lift corectly a dog with hipdisp.??

@jfuchiga First i'm sorry for the late response :S , Then for your question the DI (Distraction Index) is derived from the PENNHip evaluation test, which can be scored 0 to 1 , 0 Being a tight joint and 1 being a loose joint (A loose joint being more vulnerable for the development of HD)
If this test is scored 0.3 Or above the chance of developing HD (either in a mild or severe state) is present.
If i am correct (And please correct me if im wrong) This test can be taken @ 4 months or older.

Depends on the level of degeneration in the joint, often times supportive care (NSAIDS/pain meds) along with rest and diet.
There are surgical corrections available too. There are total hip replacements available as there are in humans.

Alright, I'm doing this for a class project, so what are some cures to hip dysplasia, or are there none?

Hip dysplasia in dogs are very similar to arthritis in humans and it is very painful.

Thnx a lot for the info provided, clear an understandable.
For you people out there who want to get a dog, Hyp Dysplasia (HD) comes in five different degrees
HD-A = No signs of HD
HD-B = Transision form
HD-C = Mild HD
HD-D = Extensive HD
HD-E = HD in its worst case
So if you are buying a dog that is known for this disease please make sure that the parents are HD free ( Still it can develop HD but the chance is slimmer) And test the pup itself if possible.
