Clinical symptoms

  • Not wanting to be active or exercise.
  • Behavioral changes;
    Hip dysplasia in dogs can lead to significant pain-related aggression, often causing sudden behavioral changes like snapping / snarling, which may not necessarily be directed at the painful area.
  • Difficulty standing up or getting up and down sofas or stairs.
  • Walking in an unusual way, such as a swaying gait.
  • Limping or lameness.
  • Showing pain, such as whining or licking/biting at their hip area.
  • Loss of muscle mass or tone around their hips.
  • A reduced range of movement of the hip.
  • Stiffness.
It is important to remember that we talk about probabilities. A grade is just a grade. It is also possible for a dog with an grade "E"-hip to live a completely normal, pain-free and long life.

Please note that symptoms may differ from those mentioned above.

Selkämuutoksisten koirien jalostuskäyttö:

Kun käytetään jalostukseen koiraa, jolla on minkään asteisia selkämuutoksia, on jälkeläisistä selkätutkittu vain 36,03%. Näistä jonkin asteisia selkämuutoksia on yli puolella (51,60%).

Vakavampia kuin lieviä (>1 asteisia) muutoksia omaavia koiria käytettäessä: - on jälkeläisistä selkätutkittu vain noin puolet (50,89%) - selkämuutoksia on 69,78% tutkituissa jälkeläisessä, joista noin puolella (47,56%.) muutokset ovat vakavampia kuin lieviä (>1-asteisia).
