HIP DYSPLASIA. IN DOGS!!!.
Painful joints are increasing common in dogs, initially it was associated with aging, excessive weight loads on joints and limbs.Now a days the cases have been linked to poor breeding choices, where undesirable traits are masked and the litters come out with poor body conformations and resultant joint issues . The common breeds susceptible to hip dysplasia are German shepherd and golden retriever ,although any large breed can have joint issues with increasing age coupled with other factors.
The smooth surface of joints wear down resulting in severe pain, the problem is a progressive one and the ability to note and identify changes in gait, exercise tolerance, stairs climbing and ease of raising self up from the floor by owner will give a good prognosis as treatment can be initiated immediately.
The dog breeders and pet owners who feed high fat diet, high carbohydrate diets with intent to fatten pups within a short period of time actually set the ball rolling, because the weight will put so much pressure on joints that before the pup is a year old, signs of joint problems are noticed.
The best way to manage the issue is by 1) weight reduction; reduce current weight to eliminate pressure from joints. 2) routine exercise is important to help tone the muscles,this will also take pressure off joints.3) medications include nonsteriodal anti inflammatory drug, glucosamine and chondrotin sulphate supplement and also incorporate fish oil in diet.
