Hip dysplasia

Gautam Unny This case was refered to me by a client. The previous vet refused to recognize it as a case of HD, just because he sold the pup to this client.

    many years back, HD was thought differently. Now a days many vets know that its a genetic problem but the dog is not born with it, may be later due improper raising it is predisposed to HD. So who ever be the vet, he should better not think in the above way that "the dog I sold should never get HD or I will never reveal that it has got it now".
    Dr Gautam, thanks for such a nice topic for discussion.

    Niranjana Chandrasekar In the radiograph, acetabulum is too shallow. conservative therapy with rest would be better. Ayyapan sir obviously would give better suggestions.

    Swarupmay Majumdar Some vets, I know, uses Anabolic steroids in such cases, if the age is less. Can it help? I think anabolic steroids are very bad choice, side effects are many.

    Gautam Unny i would avoid anabolic steroids as we are anyhow wanting weight reduction. also this radiograph is not positioned well, but then unless we have our own machine , its tough.
