HD - HIP DYSPLASIA

The disturbance happens under the puppies growths, and can not be graded until the dog's is adult. And not even then, can you tell exactly how much.


HD also is concider to be caused by the environment. Exaggerated exercise under the growth plus exaggerated feeding of concentrate dog food, that hastens the growth.


I will also mention that HD-free dogs can become parents to a whole litter with HD.


And on the contrary! I don't think that we shall stare us blind on, if the dog is HD free , and think it's more or less okey to accept all other weakness, like bad temperament.


I think that a good breeder shall have whats characteristic the breed!
Thats much more important to have good temperament, vigorous and strong rear, well muscled, good movements, and for me that they loves water :o)

Symptom A dog with HD don´t acquires to show up some symptom. But you always should try hold a HD dog as slender as possible, so he or her don't have to pull around with unnecessary kilos The most common symphtom is that they have difficulty to lift the back, and can fall down again.



Treatment/ What can I do ? If the dog displays characters on pain this must be treated! Everything from given alleviation of pain , to medication, and to operation. It have also shown that acupuncture with 24-karats gold have helped! The dog shall not exercise to rough, neither jump inside out in the car. Swimming is an exercise that is very good to build up the whole entire body on the dog with.


Glucosamine and condroitin has proven to give good results in some dogs.
