| Summary: | A study was conducted to assess the prevalence of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) among
dog population during a period of one year from January 2021 to December 2021. Canine hip
dysplasia was confirmed by clinical orthopedic and radiographic examinations. Of the 231 dogs
presented with lameness suspected to be originating from hip joint, 140 animals had dysplastic
hips. The incidence was more in large breeds of dogs in an age group of 6 months to 12 months.
Thirty five percent of the animals showed unilateral affection while in the remaining 65 percent it
was bilateral. Females were more affected with this condition as per the findings of this study. Other
than hip dysplasia, traumatic hip dislocation and osteoarthritis contributed to lameness originating
from hip joints. |
