Canine hip dysplasia is a disease that is genetically transmitted, most commonly among large breed dogs, in which the joints develop abnormally. It is commonly formed when the leg bone slides out of a shallow pelvic socket, causing painful friction.
Hip dysplasia may occur in one or both hips, and can eventually lead to a dislocation of the hip. Pressure placed on the damaged joint strains the surrounding cartilage, causing inflammation of the joint and likely to result in a dog developing arthritis.
Daily exercise plays a significant role in preventing and managing canine hip dysplasia. Consult your veterinarian for an exercise routine that is suitable for your dog.
