  • Thanks that was soo helpful :)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • @crapheadandidiot

    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.

  • did anyone else notice that he is gay
