(Redirected from Canine hip dysplasia) In dogs, hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket that, in its more severe form, can eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. It is a genetic (polygenic) trait that is affected by environmental factors.
Also, a new method has been developed for diagnosing Hip Dysplasia by the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. This test still uses an x-ray. The difference is that the examination measures the laxity (space between, looseness) in the joints.he Cause of Hip Dysplasia is likely a combination of genetics, diet, and environment. Preventing or reducing the severity of Hip Dysplasia includes healthy exercise and a proper diet.
