How to manage hip dysplasia in my practice
- are we in a rush?
Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopaedic disease in the dog and is particularly painful in young patients of medium to large breed dogs.
These patients show signs of intense pain, they can be reluctant to stand up an be very lame after normal walks or trots.
Luckily these intense signs of coxofemoral pain will decrease with time and around 75% of these patients will show no signs of pain or abnormal gait during their adulthood.
In this talk we will revise how to treat conservatively puppies with hip dysplasia and how to choose surgical candidates in future.
