Injury. Booklice feed on molds and will overrun cereals and similar materials that support mold growth. Their presence, therefore, is a nuisance and can render some foods unfit. The starchy paste of wallpaper and books also can support mold growth or may be attacked directly by booklice.
Special Notes. In young dogs, hip dysplasia usually is caused by conformational abnormalities that cause a âpoor fitâ between the head of the femur and the pelvic acetabulum, which in turn causes laxity of the hip joint.
In a dog with normal hips, all of these factors work together to cause the joint to function smoothly and with stability. Hip dysplasia is associated with abnormal joint structure and a laxity of the muscles, connective tissue, and ligaments that would normally support the joint.
