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.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of disorders affecting the proximal femur and acetabulum that leads to hip subluxation and dislocation. Early diagnosis and treatment is important because failure to diagnose DDH in neonates and young infants can result in significant morbidity.
