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.
Definition of Hip Dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is a common, painful canine disorder that involves abnormal development and/or degeneration of one or both hip joints. The hips are ball-and-socket joints where the head of each femur (the long thigh bone) joins with a concave socket of the pelvic bone called the acetabulum.
